Livelihood Pods
= small solidarity-based groups to create livelihoods for generative economic activities, explored by Enspiral and other Neotribes.
Description
1. Richard Bartlett:
"As I'm using the term in my video, Pod's are a small highly-committed group with one set of finances. Income defaults to the collective, with some tolerance for inequal distribution to individuals. This is as opposed to e.g. the Services model, where the books are illegible and the income defaults to the individual, with some tolerance for inequal distribution to the collective.
I think these are really important characteristics that bias the group towards democracy, solidarity, mutual aid, etc., they are training grounds for learning how to be commoner." (https://www.loomio.org/d/UNf4zXwP/livelihood-pods-and-or-ventures-sharing-ideas-and-practice)
2. Mikey of Enspiral:
"each pod is a separate business/coop/trust with 3-12 members (?) using common services" (https://www.loomio.org/d/UNf4zXwP/livelihood-pods-and-or-ventures-sharing-ideas-and-practice)
