For the last 20+ years, I've focused on ownership; and although there have been trials and tribulations along the way (and continue to be trials and tribulations), I still believe that ownership is key to a diverse/vibrant community/city where residents thrive. With ownership comes/or should come pride and stability.
As a New Progressive, I believe in the "Ownership-Money Circulation Principle" (OMCP).
The principle holds true no matter where you live (with rare exceptions). New Progressives, while embracing the OMCP, also believe in "Medicare for All" and "Social Security", and would never want to privatize either. Even more awesome is residents having ownership in their own non-profit community hospital or non-profit clinic where every resident receives free services .
I'll be talking about the OMCP in the coming months.
