I don’t think so. I think this is a real result confirmed by a real person. I also think it’s pretty cool. We do need to keep it in context though.

Most of the pro-LVT people I encounter have a belief that pure LVT will benefit them and harm corporations. The idea has become entangled in the pro-individual, anti-corporate mentality as a tool for us to wield against corporations. The mo

Your math is wrong for two reasons. You forgot to multiply by 100. You forgot to multiply by the number of firefighters around you. There is more than one firefighter working in your city or state.

Okay great. Then can you acknowledge that when everyone else is talking about piracy, none of us are talking about you? You are the 0.001% of pirates, but you make assertions here like all pirates are high minded people who are secretly act

You’re moving the goalposts from “contributing nothing” to “actually it’s valuable but I don’t want to pay that much but I also don’t want to not watch it” This is still a silly argument. If the price of something is higher than you want
