@shriverist The public are associating charity shops with the decline of high streets. Charity shops are largely tax exempt, and obviously don't have many expenses other than rent and utilities, so they're the last ones to go, which keeps rent higher than it should be.

@duncancampbell You can call it a 'land value fee' if it makes you feel better about it.

@Neopium @Maks_NAFO_FELLA She is personally influential with Trump, and has a large audience with republicans. I think it's worthwhile trying to turn them into supporters.

@jonasholmdk @GenieLaManoNero Tror også jeg er skeptisk overfor deres bagvedliggende ideologi. Det virker som om de laver en logisk fejlslutning om at "naturligt" = godt, hvilket også er blevet brugt som et argument for at stoppe udbredelsen af GMOer, som fx. Gylden ris.

@jonasholmdk @GenieLaManoNero Enig i at griseproduktionen er endnu mere hul i hovedet, specielt fordi det ikke engang er en god forretning for resten af samfundet. Men arealmæssige får man altså væsentligt mere ud af konventionelt landbrug, så det er der jeg hellere vil hen, for at maksimere natur.

@jonasholmdk @GenieLaManoNero Pointen er vel at man ikke kan brødføde verden med økologi, så det er helt hul i hovedet at have det som et politisk mål.

@janniehansen89 @LindaGreenty Hvem er "vi"?

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@LeopoldNick @supremeMilo @LinkofSunshine Takings clause of the fifth amendment, presumably.

@pegasoar1 @RasmusJarlov @Freemarkethuman @Glorifundel He's a card-carrying conservative.

@RealKeithWeiner @WildGCTweets @mr_james_c The state owns all of the land on its territory. We're not operating under feudal land claims anymore.

@BackupFabien @DanielPriestley @DrTonyShenton @garyseconomics Might it even be "project fear"?

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@JoelTheDane Leaving aside the environmental damage, and idiocy of Trump, I think there's something hauntingly beautiful about these pictures.

@GC4115 @RasmusDamgaard5 @martincollignon Jeg så gerne at naboerne skulle skrubbe af.

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@GC4115 @RasmusDamgaard5 @martincollignon Pga. Politisk pres fra naboerne.

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@GC4115 @RasmusDamgaard5 @martincollignon Forstår simpelthen ikke hvad du brokker dig over. Hvis din grund har gået tilladelse til at blive bygget på, så burde din grund alt andet lige være mere værd.

@EmbitteredThe @LouPerez @Steinernomics @asymmetricinfo Why would anyone invest in a new chemical plant if they are going to be expropriated as soon as they get success?

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@EmbitteredThe @LouPerez @Steinernomics @asymmetricinfo I'm being perfectly consistent. Expropriation is antithetical to property rights.

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@EmbitteredThe @LouPerez @Steinernomics @asymmetricinfo Try having a chemical industry or cheap food without scale.

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@EmbitteredThe @LouPerez @Steinernomics @asymmetricinfo Also doesn't sound like property rights.

[Matthew Birchman 🔰🇺🇦🇪🇺 @MatthewBirchman]

@EmbitteredThe @LouPerez @Steinernomics @asymmetricinfo So the state would ensure that a company can immediately be expropriated above a certain size? Sounds like a huge disincentive for scale.
