Does anyone know of any historical efforts to do Usufruct (like libraries of things), but disguised as a private business with suspiciously low prices?
For example, a tool library, but it appears as a tool rental business, though only runs on a very low subscription to break even with maintenance, and "incidentally" (by enforced design) makes no profit while having a horizontal ownership structure.
I was inspired by the srslywrong episode about usufruct, and know a lot of my (red state) neighbors would actually love the concept, but are brainwashed to avoid things with certain terms attached. It might be a good gateway to get to some people who already agree on what some of life's problems are, but are brainwashed to avoid certain solutions.

A quotation from Wendell Berry
The ecological teaching of the Bible is simply inescapable: God made the world because He wanted it made. He thinks the world is good, and He loves it. It is His world; He has never relinquished title to it. And He has never revoked the conditions, bearing on His gift to us of the use of it, that oblige us to take excellent care of it.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Essay (1988), “God and Country,” What Are People For? (1990)More info about this quote: wist.info/berry-wendell/17399/
