The 'communist' countries generally did these same things. The russians famously just straight up executed anarcho-communists and competing socialist factions and any union of persons associated with such. They employed essentia

I mean the nazis were nominally socialist. And they had heavy price and wage controls and de facto government control of much of industry. They used communism-lite.

It is due to the fact EVs relatively freeload via using roads without paying fuel taxes, and take from everyone else using ev federal subsidies. Of course 18-wheelers and large trucks are probably worse. Small passenger ICE cars end up pay

Argentina's people seem to have dealt with this through mass tax fraud, hiding money in crypto/cash/real assets, insubordination to law, and electing a self proclaimed anarcho-capitalist. Somehow they've managed to thri

In my state the people are there because there is water. You can't make new places attractive, because all the people will be dead. It's basically a 100% correlation between location of towns and whether you can economically dri

This is the double edge sword of moving away from voluntary transaction in the market and towards government-imposed funding. The government takes away your ability to choose what to fund, holds the purse, then smacks the purse at you fill

The materials are very cheap. Last year I built a house for ~30k shell, about ~60k with utilities and everything inside of it. My own labor. Of course, there are only a handful of counties that will let you do that without licenses, or a b

I agree it is not unreasonable, but I'd also note that bars have their livelihood at stake. While a child has their phone at stake, you cannot threaten their livelihood without a trip to prison. There are no material stakes to the chi

Unfortunately housing will still not get cheaper because nearly the entire supply is locked into 30 year loans at near 0%, even a fool would starve, default their car note, and sell their every last valuable before giving that up.

The lower the supply of people willing to do this, the higher Palentir can bid. And thus is the quandary. Discouraging this behavior only makes it more profitable.

Emerging markets with next to nill infrastructure and high practical barriers to terrestrial infrastructure due to no roads / legal protection or presence of easements / people will rip fiber right out of the ditch to sell for $0.

Even filings like this one appear to purjure them then, as they claim the owner of the business at starlink.com is Starlink Services LLC [0]. The FCC petition as a telecom carrier appears to be for Starlink Services LLC [1]. This is in ad

No doubt, but given the cost and challenge of launching a satellite, I think your best bet if your rural enclave despises Starlink for whatever reason, right now your best bet is to run fiber to a single house and make a mini wireless ISP.

If you get 'free' fiber you are just punting the cost to other members. It cost me $15,000 to establish my co-op membership 1,000 ft it went to the next guy. Our bylaws require all members to pay 100% of the full unsubsidized cos
