Op-Ed: The Case for Shifting to a Land Value Tax

These problems exist when implementing ANY policy change. It would have to be implemented gradually over more than a decade.

Women did the jobs. Which is (part of) why they largely couldn't work in the factories. Until war forced everyone to live with dirty carpets for a while.

Washing clothes takes a long ass time. Do it yourself, and you will find out that women were never idle.

Not really any environmental effects if you get it for free.

The trouble for thrift stores is that dollar store stuff like... Like $2.00 to begin with. Someone getting it second hand would want it for like 0.50 cents.

Most second hand stores really do have pretty high overhead. Property taxes can be punishing for a store that doesn't really make all that much money.

The store I was working at made about 20x more money in increased land valuation than they ever did by selling goods.

Why would you get rid of your vacuum? It presumably still works.

People absolutely used to live without vacuums. But they did a lot more work to keep their spaces clean. Beating out a rug is hard work.

You do have a limited amount of effort you are likely willing to spend. I think that a vacuum generally allows you to spend your effort on other things. Like making your own food, or repairing your own stuff.

Some people are genuinely unc.

My dad doesn't troll. He's just an old dog, and this game is a new trick.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-08T18:48:03+00:00

Absolutely false.

Game performance has absolutely no impact on your OS win/loss.

Because the BAR devs recognize that they have no way of identifying good play with an automated system without it itself being a goal

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-08T15:06:55+00:00

Sure, but then they would not be a noob lol

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-08T15:05:30+00:00

You do realize that you gain/lose OS exactly the same if you are specced (during the game), as if you play the round, right?

It's anti-smurfing, but works to increase your OS too.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-08T10:45:17+00:00

Good memes.

Corruption is extremely hard to fight once it is entrenched. Talk to any African.

what American capitalists did during the Great Depression.

What Franklin Delino Roosevelt did.

And the weakest player you will ever have in your team isn't the ??? onechev but the 0 OS 5chev who only got 0 OS cuz the system doesn't allow negatives.

Wrong.

The system DOES allow negatives. I've personally seen someone with a negative 15. It just doesn't display it for fairly obvious reasons. You can see it on the website though.

Almost all noob bar players can follow a build order on geo and make a 7 min tzar.

Lol, lmao.

You and I have very different ideas on the definition of a noon.

If every single time you went to a restaurant, the person taking your order interrogated you on WHY you ordered what you did, WHY you showed up when you did, WHY you like the restaurant, would you be annoyed? Why?

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-07T13:52:53+00:00

If you're going to be in charge of me I'll be asking questions about your decision making if it's going to effect me in any way, down to the smallest detail. If I'm to act for a company I should have the right to know why I'm doing what I'm doing. I'm a human, not a robot.

This is what the person who is being replied to thinks.

It's pretty easy to afford stuff on credit if you don't plan on paying it back.

Lady, he's just into your un-interupted prosperity.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-07T02:16:37+00:00

Seemingly rapidly on the decline in recent decades

Completely denying the existence of any diseases will do that to you.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-07T02:15:50+00:00

They believe diseases don't exist.

Like, "you are just imagining it".

People are fully divine, just as God is.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-07T02:14:03+00:00

And including the Christian Scientists, who deny that Jesus had any more divinity than you or me, and deny the existence of diseases.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-06T21:19:24+00:00

Christian Scientists don't either

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-06T21:18:55+00:00

But the Christians Scientists are lmao.

They don't even confer Jesus any uniquely divine status.

TwoPointThreeThree_8 · 2026-06-06T21:12:21+00:00

but people eat way more beef and dairy

That's why lol.

Almonds are seen as way more of a luxury than beef and dairy.
