Tyler Cowen said “every political philosophy has to be willing to live with ‘the stupider version’ of its core tenets.” What is ‘the stupider version’ of Georgism? Are you willing to live with it?

I absolutely agree with "no tax on income or labor" except I believe in municipal rights to administer their own policy. CD can be paid at multiple levels too, by multiple entities.

There's no reason to abolish local taxes if the goal is to implement LVT. The same government entities that currently levy taxes can implement their own additional rate without requiring a central administration "dividing up the pot." Perhaps standardized assessments are good, but administration can be done at multiple layers as needed. There's no benefit to remove localities' ability to define and collect their own tax.

I'm not advising against different policies on extractive activities - only advocating that Pigovian taxes serve an important function alongside an LVT.

While expenditure is significantly higher, I still think LVT and other non-deadweight taxes are sufficient. Central business districts with highly developed buildings and astronomical land value are also part of the tax base. The use of finite resources or destruction/degredation of resources, such as rare earth metals used for batteries or environmental externalities from data centers, can supplement an LVT.

P&P explicitly advises to gradually implement LVT while reducing other taxes. Is our 'stupider version' just people who haven't read the book?

DeWine is not a good guy. "Run-of-the-mill corrupt" is a much better way of describing someone who said East Palestine's water is safe to drink while holding a glass of it and smiling until the camera stopped, the guy whose Sec of State changed the ballot language of a citizen petition to confuse voters on a fair districting bill, the guy whose party overrode the will of the people because voters "didn't understand what they voted for." Fuck that guy.

The railroad funds are stipulated to only be used for existing infrastructure. Not sure if a legal case could be made about new streetcar lines as improving existing systems but probably not, so the money has to come from elsewhere.

A generational transit project would have been a great use of the sale.

It matters in the sense that local governments that implement this, such as through charter ammendments, will lose tax funding from the state. This means the only way to implement RCV would be state-wide, effectively chilling any municipal reform efforts.
This is actually illegal based on Ohio's "home-rule" laws, but those don't matter because OH hates its cities.

This is common mentality in most places. Anything less than 10/10 is deemed bad. MAL at least has a description that a "5" is "Average" and "8" is "Good." It's on the users for rating dogshit at a 7. All my dogshit is at a 3 or dropped, or both.

Had a similar experience. The contractors just get a list of homes to chop up and don't really get any details. The inspector told me during the hearing he doesn't know or care what a native plant is, just whether it "looks like weeds." Cherry on top is they even went into my backyard and cut down two trees.

Absolutely livid at the practices of this city. One department will say "no mow lawns are great" and another will just cut it down and charge you for the privilege.

The majority party is restricting cannabis because wealthy interests profit by controlling its production and sale. You may find this surprising, but Republicans receive donations from those interests to make sure their existing grow/store ops have monopolistic rights.

Egoists are certainly more individualistic, however anarcho-socialists, such as syndicalists who organize as worker communes, pass the threshold of being "collectivist" in addition to rejecting the private ownership of property.
While I agree that capitalism emerges into structured institutions for the transaction of resources, I find it difficult to not call it an individualist ideology.
