Tax land with a big fat rate (LVT) and give primary residence a big fat exception. Problem solved, and bonus, you can probably get rid of the income tax now.

It's worth pointing out that when you say "people can't afford to buy homes" you don't mean that they can't pay the mortgage or maintain the building ~as well as a landlord, you mean that they don't have e

GraphQL has advantages that make it great in certain situations but it can be very difficult to wrangle it at large scale and you basically need to hire Facebook GraphQL engineers once you get to a certain size. If you are using Typescript

You missed the part (well, you IGNORED the part...) where I talk about energy density. That's obvious because you don't want to compare the amount of lithium required for billions of cars and grid scale solar to cover 16 hours of

Real world grid scale solar + storage is not cheaper, and humanity doesn't even have the battery capacity and won't for some time longer. And speaking of regional poisoning, I guess all of those heavy metal mines in poorer countri

It's a weird argument to say "Nuclear does this, solar does not" as if the two are against one another and you are comparing them. Here, I'll do the same thing: "Nuclear produces power 24/7, while solar can onl

A number of credit cards have apps/websites with recurring charge trackers. As much as I love credit unions, they don't do 2-5% cashback, so it can be wise to stack recurring payments onto credit cards for benefits.
