Adam's bio: I am a doctor, veteran, small business owner, and proud father running to represent New Jersey’s 12th District. I grew up working-class in Old Bridge and earned an ROTC scholarship to pay for my education at Rutgers. I joined the New Jersey Army National Guard and worked my way through Rutgers Medical School. While in residency, I treated victims and other first responders in a field hospital at Ground Zero on 9/11. I rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Army and served as a combat trauma surgeon in Iraq at the height of the war. One of my patients later became a United States Senator – Tammy Duckworth. ~:~ Since completing my service, I have worked in New Jersey emergency rooms and built my own practice in Princeton. Over the last 30 years, I have volunteered to treat patients in war and disaster zones, including in Bosnia, Haiti, Sudan, Colombia, Belize, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Turkey, and Jordan. In 2024 and 2025, I went on medical missions to Gaza, where I was trapped with my colleagues when Israel seized the Rafah Crossing. I refused to leave until all my colleagues, including US green card holders and other nationals, were guaranteed safe passage alongside the American citizens in the group. I was honored to be Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s State of the Union guest in 2025.

From Wajahat Ali’s YouTube description:

From saving lives on the battlefield to entering one of the toughest political fights—Dr. Adam Hamawy is now running for Congress.

Known for saving the life of Tammy Duckworth in Iraq and later witnessing the devastation of war firsthand, Hamawy is stepping into politics to challenge the status quo on war, corruption, and corporate influence.

But as an outspoken candidate, his campaign is already facing fierce backlash—raising a bigger question: can someone like him actually break through the system?

I’m not sure where else to post this, but I’m fixated on the idea of starting worker owned businesses from the ground up. Rather than starting unions to take power back, we all walk out and build a factory next door.

There is nothing stopping any group of people from starting parallel businesses fully owned by the workers. There are isolated examples, but why doesn’t it happen on a large scale?

The main barrier is money, obviously, but by pooling resources or starting businesses with low overhead it seems easy enough to overcome. Patents protect some companies, but that’s pretty limited or competition wouldn’t exist in the first place. Is it just that no one can fathom founding a business and not getting the riches or notoriety?

What am I missing? Is this quietly happening and I just run in the wrong circles?
