As an ancap you're the first to ever accuse me of this, and my mere ability to view outcomes from perspective of others is in no way the claim you've accused me of making.

I have no problem with skyscraper. I'm for the abolition of taxes, which are in practice a massive transfer of wealth from poorer to richer. LVT is a transfer of tax balance from those unable to improve their land, to the rich who ca

I'm sure the fact the government suddenly was interested in a guy who made his investors gobs of money, none of whom approached as victims (although did testify they would invest again) was absolutely totally unrelated to the fact they

This describes to a T my experience. The insane hassle of packing up a temperamental 1 or 2 year old, who will probably spend half the time screeching while everyone gives you nasty glares, and their bag of goodies to go anywhere really

For dry goods I don't even look at total price, I look at price per weight (wet goods, same but volume). It's almost always lower the more I buy. I'll buy the largest quantity I can consume before it spoils. Off the cuff I&

The elevation in price is less location and more whether you're able to buy in bulk. With careful rotation discipline and a handcart it's achievable on foot though, although clearly more convenient with a car and a nice wide lot.

The real question is not whether they are a problem but why such wildly inefficient systems exist, and the answer is likely a factor in the desperation.

The LVT was relaxed in Vancouver in part because of the grandparent noted concerns of the democratic vote of the average joe in small non-profit-seeking property holdings that can't bear the (functionally regressive) tax the same as th

I've always found it interesting HN is so focused on Georgism given it's leanings. It works out fine for hyper capitalists who eek out highly efficient use of land for stuff like a steel mill but is arguably devastating to the av

There is nothing free market about enforcing patent on parties that aren't signatory to it, nor the high regulatory impositions that choke out those who aren't suitably connected to regulatory capture apparatus.

58% were funded in some fraction. I wonder what percent of approved drug cost is publically funded, and what percent is fulfilling regulatory requirements. The high cost is in large part government induced, so it's kind of hilarious

This is a much better plan than their prior plan of pursuing parallel frivelous felony charges against the players of the game who legally raise prices (Shkreli).

This should be allowed from time to time so the prols can see what a spectacularly bad idea this is and taste the fruit of their impoverished ideologies.

With an ETF who cares about price. Buy BTC onto cold wallets, short the ETF, and you can't lose more in dollars than the cost of shorting plus risk of losing wallet . The major issue with BTC before was you could only hedge in the same

2A arguably protects anything from steak knives to nukes, despite what tyrants in power say. People owned warships, cannons, etc privately at that time it was written. If people shouldn't have arms such as nukes or f-15 and 'scale

The responsibilities and duties one has to their child vs an adult are quite different. Virtually every authority charged with last-resort solving interpersonal conflict issues (government) uses violence, as when all else fails some at lea

Children are often hardest on their own caregivers though, so the more you look like a parent figure the more they rebel. Of course nowadays corporal punishment is 'child abuse' so the child is emboldened knowing they can do whate

This is easily obtainable without zoning by buying in a subdivision with CC&Rs excluding industry.

My community voted we would rather risk we all die in a fire than be homeless. My county is poor and people do their own work. I live here specifically to get away from people with your concerns.

Cool, I am building to code but I never could have built to code if it were required, because I have a day job and no time for inspections. So I built without code inspections. My experience is I know far more of the code than average volu

Drug use is primarily a problem of physics, and education on its effects. They feel great to the human brain, initially, for many drugs. And they can harm you too. Recognize nothing the government does will stop them, not even executing dru

Life expectancy rose to a multi decade (all time at that time?) record peak during the great depression in US and starvation was exceedingly rare. Even at one of its worst the outcome was remarkably robust against starvation.

But the schomburgk line author stated it wasn't intended to include legitimate territory. This is reflected for instance on Google maps not showing a solid border. The line was a rough survey with an explicit agreement between Britai
