[lbo-talk] Baby sitting coops?

[Carrol Cox]

We had in the student apartments at Michigan what we called a baby-sitting
pool. You called the secretary, she got a parent who was available, & booked
the hours. It worked fine. There was always someone.

Is this what Krugman calls a co-op. That seems a bit pretentious. 

A Tenants Committee did come out of acquaintances made through the pool. It
was just getting underway as I left, so I don't know what happened later.
