Here's a free lesson: if you hire a lawyer, think hard in advance about how the fee will be paid—your lawyer certainly does. Ownership disputes are rarely worth litigating. Often, you can skip the legal fees. Learn to use ownership rules in your favor. https://t.co/l2LOQfq1DJ

When designing ownership, our most important values are at stake. Quietly, across the economy, owners are shifting ownership rules from first to last & from time to money, all to advance their own interests, not necessarily yours. Take back control with MINE! #MineTheBook
