@Hombrelmparable Sam Johnson at a dinner party was admonished by a lady attendee who exclaimed, sir you are drunk! To which Johnson replied, madam you are ugly, but tomorrow I will wake up sober.

@Petty_Ruxspin @robbystarbuck So what you are saying is that CA election policies and laws disproportionately advantage one political party and you think that’s ok…

Buying a home increasingly is buying into a school system in higher income communities. Per pupil expenditures can easily exceed $30K in K-12. In many MA communities property tax is 70%+ education spending yet property taxes are only $7K per household. Two kids doing 13years each of public education is $780K in spending covered by about $100K in taxes.

That insane incentive creates housing demand. Along with geographically bound industries (Eds and Meds in MA) and high paying jobs, this creates an affordability crisis; those nannies, landscapers and truck drivers got to live somewhere. Self inflicted really.

Education is ripe for improvement; the academic portion exists, but the baby sitting, socialization, athletics, health care, meals, indoctrination are the important, expensive pieces.

Fix or eliminate that (eg scalable babysitting ) to lower property taxes.

Wealth erodes over time without constant maintenance. That IPO eventually goes bust, the delayed maintenance is paid in reduced offers upon sale, the cash under the mattress becomes debased. The constant maintenance is taxed; you rotate out of the stock, you pay for asset maintenance, you buy Tbills with the cash; all triggering taxes.

OTOH taxing wealth puts selling pressure on assets reducing their value, and repeat.

@TheRabbitHole Racism as extenuating circumstances (fighting words) in subsequent, coincident assault. Racism as crime in employment, housing, access, institutional or commercial settings.

Everything else, free speech.

@wang_seaver @SenSanders Can’t you just buy some shares? Maybe accumulate over time? Doesn’t equity ownership provide the public a stake?

@Photon2009 @Rainmaker1973 @grok 1000L/day is about 260 gallons per day. US household use is 100gal/day (check pls). I’ve observed 50 gallons /day usage. So container sized unit every otter household?

There is no one solution, different use cases require different technologies. Solar panels s great for decentralized energy production. Nuclear for heavy, consistent industrial use . Gas is great for heating; fracking is a process not a fuel . I prefer all of the above plus many more.

@pmarca The book was lame, a collection of talking points grafted onto someone else’s aspirations.

@zostaff Now show how much decimalization of equity spreads which replaced legacy market makers with HFT declined by 90% savings buyers billions of dollars per day.

@Handre People create property. People and property require governance (theft , dispute resolution). People, property and governance create infrastructure (growth).

@patrickc Perhaps a new language of energetic accounting would provide the framework for such modeling.
