 Under Maine’s Progressive Governors, Creeping Corporatism Grew the Wealth Divide Welcome to my world Photo by sunyu-kim-unsplash Today I woke contemplating an idea I spoke about planned residential dwelling units at First Park , the three million dollar project of rural lands transformed into a development corporation by the Maine Legislature in 1998. I wondered how a residence would create the jobs promised by the promoters of the development corporation, unless zoned as businesses in residence, an idea whose time is waiting to happen. After twenty years Municipalities Incorporated was far away from the 3000 jobs promised to materialize from a business park built in the rural meadowlands.  The business park is one of those ideas that is popular despite its inappropriateness to a location, like the mini-round-about placed in the unobstructed main throughway in my home town, requiring another road to be inconveniently rerouted to give the appearance that there was a functiona...

Let in confusion to reveal your message Photo by alexander-tsang-unsplash Waiting for the election results to come in feels like being in limbo.

This Post was selected for the Best Of Tremr! nathan-dumlao-unsplash The Battle of the Centuries Far-reaching ideological battles are concealed in, and over shadowed by policy issues of a moment.  As corona virus explodes uncontrollably in the midwest and fires ravage the west coast, on the coast of Southern Maine, we are experiencing a real estate boom in properties selling at all price points.  I marvel at the ability of some leaders to think on their feet, turn on a dime, and make decisions that reverberate across the world. Remote working is becoming a main stream institution, overnight, giving cause to extrapolate how remote working will transform ideologies and vice versa. While the term “remote workers” implies workers who derive their primary income from a large corporation, remote workers are also a subset of independent contractors and businesses in a home, mod...
