  • Bro emmigration is the only escape from that hellhole. It’s simply not worth it for the middle class, they’re getting sucked high and dry, and the Dems only response will be corporate subsidiaries vs billionaires, and “we’re not trump” while nothing meaningful actually gets done and costs rise across the board, and quality of life goes to shit for the average folks. The headlines say it all, either continual infighting leading to nothing, the fall of democracy, or an actual civil war that will be bloody.

    Get the fuck out while you still can. A few years into living in another country, you will despise your new home. Then you might visit your family in the USA, and realize holy hell, things actually got worse and your new home is exponentially better, even with all its failings.









  • You mean the Bezos mobile? Not a chance in hell.

    Ownership has been flipped upside down for modern EV owners (and actually a lot more). You don’t own the machine, nor the keys, you license the experience- software, data, and even the ability to start/ move the vehicle. 30k+ for remote access, EULAs, feature subscriptions to a connectivity mesh? Also the monthly connectivity costs and software updates for… how long?

    I’m not sure EV’s are the brilliant solution to modern transport, entertainment perhaps but little to nothing to do with modern or futuristic transport.






  • It destroys incentive for speculative behavior on land. LVT increases density, reduces infrastructure costs, vastly increases distribution of housing. It increases the incentive to use the property and or improve property on the land. Property, houses, buildings etc are not taxed, the land below it is. It is extremely pro environmental, even pro business. It’s implementation is simple. It’s pro the 99 percent and harms owners of large parking lots in urban dense areas (the poorest use of land and essentially a speculative hold).

    Norway used economic concepts from Henry George to utilize their vast carbon resources for the benefit of the many.

    It takes the harmful effects of capitalism and turn it on its head. It is probably exactly what the USA craves. A decentralized bottom up movement in the USA pushing for these kinds of pro human, environmental economic policies could easily overwhelm the current political, tech bro corporatism elements in the USA.

    Henry George absolutely solved the issue of poverty and inequality from a incentives/ structural economic standpoint. It is only the will of the 99 percent that is lacking. The 1 percent can be overthrown easily, in a quick and bold flick of the hand.
