It's certainly a lot more difficult to get a project made if you're talking about something progressive. That's just the nature of the industry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would say practical progressive, which means that the Republican party or any political party has got to recognize the problems of a growing and complex industrial civilization. And I don't think the Republican party is really wide awake to that.
Business can be a source of progressive change.
If progressives were interested in mitigating inequality, they would support the dynamism of free markets to allow the merit of ideas, products and services to win the day rather than stifle companies and pick winners in the name of imagined 'progress.'
Big ideas, big ambitious projects need to be embedded within culture at a level deeper than the political winds. It needs to be deeper than the economic fluctuations that could turn people against an expensive project because they're on an unemployment line and can't feed their families.
The hardest part is developing the idea, and that can take years.
I consider myself a progressive. I have a passion for people who work. To me, this is about forward looking versus backward looking. Ideological gradations are the wrong way to look at it.
Every project is a race between your enthusiasm and your ability to get it done. Go fast. Don't slow down. A year from now, new things will interest you.
I think sometimes we in the industry have to do ambitious projects.
If anything's progressive, then we make progress.
The truth is, anyone can start projects. The world is full of just-started projects that looked great at the time but were never completed.
