You'll see it on the Tabs in front of Classifieds which, if everybody likes it, we will phase out over time. This should make it easier to post and browse classified ads and trades here on Cosby Co-op. Again, nothing obscene or illegal please.

The Cosby Plan-A Call For Leadership

OK, things are bad and getting worse. That means that we have a wonderful opportunity before us if we only grasp it firmly.

The economy of the United States, as well as most of the Globe is on a downslope that is taking on some of the aspects of an avalanche, and it is becoming nakedly obvious that the Kleptocracy of the Federal Government and Wall Street are scrambling to finish looting the treasury before the lights go out. 36 million honest Citizens are on food stamps with no recourse in the… Continue

What Is Real?

With our news media turning into "infotainment," government informational opacity, and reliance on "psyops" aimed at shaping public opinion the question arises, "What is real? And how do you distinguish the Real from the lies?"

This is, of course, a perennial question which has arisen in many societies over the expanse of history, and it has been answered effectively by thoughtful men an women again and again.

Here is what I have learned.

People are real.

Your family, friends, and neighbors,… Continue

The Cosby Co-op Plan

Ok, I think everybody has got it now. The speculative economy we have all surfed for decades is a thing of the past. Jobs are drying up, credit for investment in capital ventures is disappearing, the Tourist Industry is down and will stay down into the foreseeable future. For people raised in times of an expanding economy this is an unmitigated disaster, especially those who are too rigid in their ways of doing things to understand that the rules of the game have changed.

On the other hand, mem… Continue

action over ideology

First, let me say I understand why Ning wanted to keep this site non-political. I have a question for y'all that speaks to that hesitancy.
Now, I'm sure some members here consider themselves "liberal", while others may identify as "conservative". That being said, I'm also sure that there are narrow issues on which both sides find agreement. For example(and it may not be the best one), many would consider going off grid as a laudable goal. Those on the left want to save the environment, while som… Continue

Co-op News

The Cosby Co-operative is offered as a free service to the Citizens of Sevier and Cocke Counties.

It is designed as a platform to knit together those dangling threads of social and economic impulses that make a "community" out of a neighborhood. Times were always pretty tough in the Appalachians but it looks like they are getting tougher and the sooner we all pull together and understand that no one is going to make it entirely by themselves the better off we will be. Those among us who are computer savvy understand what a tremendous resource the Internet is and this is our way of leveraging that advantage to the betterment of all.

Currently the Co-op is the fastest growing community in the Smokys and it is only a question of time before we become an economic and political force to be reckoned with. An informed, activist, polity is the very heart of both political and economic power. Seize the day!

Everybody has something to offer, skill, talent, knowledge, or products, we are all at the same table on this project. So let the trading begin! Play hard! Play fair! And no hitting.
