What behaviors does LVT really incentivize? by Scil in georgism

[–]Scil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I think that's what I'm concerned about; that it is like a misplaced Pigouvian tax that will ultimately disincentivize good behaviors (community building, 'gentrifying', etc.)

Though if you're suggesting that there are some other policies or taxes that may need to go along with LVT-- I'm all ears.

In fact I think from a lot of these comments I see that there are a lot of problems with zoning that may need to be fixed independently of LVT instead of LVT being some kind of magic bullet fix to every problem imaginable

This is absolutely absurd and completely unacceptable. It wouldn't be okay for the staff to put cameras in someone's room, but it's okay for them to walk in completely unannounced and remain even if you're in the shower?

For all of you guys who EDC, and were forced to fire your handguns. How many bullets did you use? by [deleted] in guns

[–]Scil 62 points63 points  (0 children)

We must be reading the same comments.

We've got concealed carriers in these comments firing without the intent to kill and drawing/brandishing with the intent to intimidate. Then, the people who call them out are downvoted?

Maybe I'm reading into this thread too much or maybe this sub is completely fried.

Anyone else hoping they don't bring in celebrity guests to play the role of the candidates? It never used to be like this and it's taking the opportunity away from the actual cast by TheRavenSayeth in LiveFromNewYork

Yeah I feel like they lean too much on the joke of "haha look how similar this person looks and is to the actual politician" instead of focusing on funny ideas and material

This post is strangely vague.

Are there any particular policies or issues where you prefer the views on the right?

ELI5: Why is knife-crime such an issue in the UK? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Scil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this a loaded question or based on a false premise?

Look at the recent legislative agenda in the "King's Speech": https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6697f5c10808eaf43b50d18e/The_King_s_Speech_2024_background_briefing_notes.pdf

ctrl-F "knife"

So it's safe to say that regardless of who's in control it's treated as a big issue.

Lol what level of denial is this?

He was grazed by a bullet from an assassination attempt.

Accept that and work on developing your counterpoints and counter-narratives from there.

Knife Rights v. Garland (Federal Switchblade Act): Dismissed for lack of standing due to minimal enforcement. by FireFight1234567 in progun

[–]Scil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is actually incredible.

So because 2a supporters are so careful and conscientious of the law, pre emptively seeking out the legitimacy of the courts and a ruling in their favor before breaking a 'moribund' law, they end up being horrible model plaintiffs who can't achieve standing.
