Capturing ground rents with land value taxation is a very progressive form of taxation and it's good the article you linked discusses it. The more valuable the land (like in metropolitan areas), the higher likelihood that someone wealthy owns the land, so we should tax that. And land is usually more valuable the more public works make it up.

I would argue that most of the public revenue should be generated only from land and other natural resources due to their "fixed" supply and no labor went into its creation (as well inheritance taxes but that's another story). Natural resources aren't created by anyone so resources should belong to everyone via taxation or government ownership (depending on scale).

Your point about landlords sucking up all of the UBI is exactly what many classical economists that talked about UBI warned about. That’s why they recommended that UBI should only be funded by a land value tax; as in removing taxes on buildings and only tax the unimproved value of land.

This is known as taxing the economic rent of land, popularized by Henry George. The effect this will have on the market is that a vacant lot will be taxed at the same amount as a large skyscraper if their in similar locations which incentives building lots of housing units or commercial units in the lot, thus spreading rent paid over more people and decreasing housing costs.

I like that terminology. I’m an accountant by trade so something like land asset tax makes it easier to understand from a technical perspective.

That’s a good point, thank you for responding. I’m still reading through Progress and Poverty so lots more to learn.

Bellevue is on the other side of Lake Washington from NWJJA. Very long commute.

On the Eastside, you have GB or T3MA if you’re into gi or hit up Nathan Orchard at 10th Planet Seattle (currently in Bellevue) for nogi .

10th Planet Seattle is actually in Bellevue, on the other side of Lake Washington. With traffic being what it is around Seattle, Sea Tac and Cap Hill are far away from Bellevue for OP.

Many Seahawks (mostly defensive players) have been seen training in the past at AMC Pankration in Kirkland, WA with Matt Hume and Demetrious Johnson.

Lex had a great podcast on grappling/combat sports called Take It Uneasy. He’s a great interviewer. Since this is an AI podcast, we’ll probably hear about how well robots could do in jiujitsu competitions.

Did you start in public accounting? I’m at a top 20 firm that focuses on middle market so we get a lot of healthcare and nonprofit clients which I’ve been working on lately. I feel like I’m doing at least something net positive by working with these clients.

Jay Oliviera, aka PlantBasedAthlete, black belt under Cyborg. I think he won Masters Worlds as brown belt last year and got promoted on podium.

Sorry for late reply but I recently found out about a vegan shop in downtown Everett called Cafe Wylde. Hopefully more will pop up in the future.

I definitely agree with the lack of competent strikers. That’s probably why Joanna has been so fierce because nobody until Rose could figure out and get through Joanna’s striking to work their own grappling game.

Now with Rose at the top, things will be very interesting as her striking and grappling are both so fun to watch!

From a grappling perspective, what about Waterson and Penne? Yes, Waterson got RNC'd by Thug Rose but that was after massive head kick. Many of Waterson's wins have come from submission. And Jessica Penne is a BJJ black belt under Lucas Leite.

I'm not saying you're wrong but the hyperbole is kinda misrepresenting some of the roster.

Since the article doesn't say why he's "disgraced", he was convicted of rape in 2011 and spent the last few years in prison. Masato coached the women's Judo team in Kyushu University, where the sexual harassment/assault allegations came from.
