Merge with Utility_cooperative
[edit]I think that article should be merged into this one on the basis that a utility cooperative is simply a specific kind of consumers' cooperative where the product/service in question is water/electricity/telecom/etc.
Vanguard?
[edit]Add Vanguard to United States?
"Problems"
[edit]"Since consumer cooperatives are run democratically, they are subject to the same problems typical of democratic government" This part is marked as needing a citation- but it doesn't just need a citation, it needs some elaboration. You can't make a statement like this without mentioning which problems you are talking about. Someone more knowledgable on the subject should add something here.
It's a good idea to check the history of an article. Changes are often not improvements.

Because consumers' co-operatives are run democratically they are subject to some of the same problems of democratic government: the selection of incompetent or dishonest management, poor business planning, deficit spending, etc. Problems such as these can generally be avoided by providing member/owners with educational materials that inform often and honestly as regard to business conditions. A helpful study of practices that are detrimental to a consumer owned business is provided by Problems Of Cooperation, by James Peter Warbasse. Bkobres (talk) 21:58, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
