This Tues 9/26 at OPPL - A simple solution to big local money problems
Many of our big problems - locally & nationally - are caused by money. Eg, poverty, jobs disappearing, environment, and growing inequality.   Money is also a simple, pragmatic solution, but a new (and ancient) money based on time.   Here's how it works.  When I help you for an hour, I credit my account for that hour and debit yours.  The hour I just earned helping you I can spend by asking someone to help me.  The hour you owe you can clear by helping someone.
