It took us 111 episodes, but we finally dedicated a full interview to land value taxes. "The taking by the community, for the use of the community, of that value which is the creation of the community"! Thanks @larsiusprime.bsky.social for joining us! lewis.ucla.edu/2026/04/22/1...

The same property tax caps which prevent the middle class from being extorted by government are the very same caps which force the middle class to subsidize the wealthy.

I don't care which side of the aisle you're on. When you threaten a government shutdown, you're not striking to improve your working conditions. You're striking because you're not getting your way. Go invoke an Article V Convention. Show up SOMEWHERE and DO YOUR JOB.

As China halts U.S. soybean imports for Argentinian ones, American farmers face frustration over a U.S. bailout for Argentina's economy. According to Redfin, this is impacting housing, with 2 in 5 homes in Des Moines & Omaha seeing price drops—double the national rate.

Have you ever wondered why Georgists use the 🔰 mark? It's originally a Japanese symbol, and I think we would do well as a movement to embody its deeper meanings. progressandpoverty.substack.com/p/why-georgi...

Labor need not ask for favors and protection, as monopolists do. Labor wants only justice! Labor wants only fair play! cooperative-individualism.org/george-henry... Henry George Speech at Cooper Union, NY 1894 #Georgism #LVT #Labor #Unions #Immigration

Newspaper clipping reads: "What has he ever done for labor? Possibly some little things called for by organized labor, and he has appointed a lot of labor leaders to little positions, earning their support. Labor is the creator of all wealth; labor is the one thing that has no little favors to ask. It is monopoly that wants protection. But labor -- labor wants only justice; labor wants only fair play. What we want for labor is not such miserable and shameful laws as those which meet men seeking our shores and turn them back again; men who come here to this country to work, as our fathers came. The great movement for labor is along the line of taxation."

Taxing the *positive* externalities of certain transportation modes is a new one to me. Maybe Washington can take that revenue and use it to subsidize cigarette sales.

Labor > Capital. (Labor is greater than capital.)

Leo's Tweets: First Tweet, Leo brags about building an SaaS entirely with AI, no hand-written code, and charging clients for this. Second Tweet, Leo is distressed that someone has discovered a vulnerability in their AI-generated code and is exploiting it. Further, Leo reminds everyone that they are "not technical" so they are struggling to identify and solve the problem.

"And state Sen. Mark Baisley, R-Woodland Park, questioned exactly where people would park in a city like Denver if the tax system incentivized multi-story buildings on every block." 🔰 Sounds like #LVT would trigger a #ConstructionBoom & help make more #AffordableHousing. Priorities, people!
