Sure, the LVT is not designed to be a wealth tax, but rather a tax on the unimproved value of land. Its primary purpose is to encourage efficient use of land and discourage speculative land holding, which can lead to artificial scarcity and

I'm a huge proponent of land tax. Here's why I think it's worth considering: 1. Economic Efficiency: Unlike income or consumption taxes, an LVT is non-distortionary. It doesn't discourage productive activities like work,

I agree, why does it matter if my feed is interspersed with everything from long form to a simple short form link post?

Oh shut up. You’re not for free speech, you’re for “everyone has to see/hear my speech”. People voted and they don’t want this on the front page.

Highly recommend grabbing a copy of Carlo Rovelli's new book White Holes, he does a great job of explaining black holes and then delves into white holes.

You're the one lumping traditional conservative with MAGA types. And yes, many of these talking points are traditional conservative as is your appeal to "even tempered reconciliation" which is classic stop fighting and just a

I'd love to be car free again, I spent 5-ish years exclusively riding my bike and I miss it like crazy. I had a 95 Camry that I loved to death until it died spectacularly on I70 outside of Vail. Then I had an Audi RS3 that was fun to f

Where? I still see/hear of residents in the states working 80+. Many pulling 20-24 hours a day for 3 or more days a week, then additional coverage beyond that.

While EV resale prices lag ICE, they're on the rise while ICE resale is waning. Considering the lack of maintenance and not paying for gas the math almost always works out in the EVs favor if you hold onto it for 3 years or more.

I find the opposite. 99% of my drives are a few miles each way. I no longer think about fuel or any maintenance. It's so damn convenient. Sure, the few times a year we plan a longer trip it gets trickier. Although, the number of charge

Your kid has a right to education, you don't get to deny them that right. It's funny how rugged individualism seems to end with self and extend to happily stomping on others.

Sure seems like the powers that be want this to turn into something much bigger. A lot of saber rattling and egging on coming from capital. Their unicorns are all spent, so I guess their next target is profiting off large swaths of the worl

Stripping myself of my morals and ethics, sure. Maybe I don’t need to give a shit whether someone else’s kid has any future. I’d rather care.

Sure, that's one model. The underlying problem is the completely unregulated nature. Similarly, there is household in my neighborhood that home schools. The kids (all 8 of them) never leave the house. They have a 8ft. fence and 1 acre

Ya, this doesn't end well. The data isn't amazing for homeschooling, but what I've seen shows a strong bimodal distribution. Extremely wealthy home schoolers with tons of resources have kids that perform well in college and h

There's absolutely no case to be made that it's worth anything close to $19B. I think we're seeing a reluctance to address the truth, Musk turned a slowly declining asset into a worthless one in a year.

Not unless it's a whole new concept. Demographic shift and trends show "traditional" social media is dead.

This is "luddite" fodder. Don't buy an EV now, better batteries are coming!!! Soon, we promise, just wait. In the meantime check out this ice vehicle!

The fact that we can induce out of body experiences with drugs that appear to exactly match lends credence to this idea.

The true story here is "AI reflects the same bias as traditional media." Not that surprising as traditional media is the training set.
