Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel calls the US, UK and Canada a "Georgist real estate catastrophe". A giant wealth transfer from younger/working class to older/landowners. He supports taxing land (over other things) to fix housing and the economy.

UBC's Patrick Condon has 3 solutions to the housing crisis, and it's all about land. 1. Stop using tax dollars to boost demand even more. 2. Capture land value to benefit the public, not speculators. 3. Use that value to build affordable housing.

Canada should have a sovereign wealth fund that pays dividends to all and invests for future generations. It's how we leverage our nation's advantages in natural resources, technology, and finance to build common wealth for all Canadians.

When you hear housing crisis, think land crisis.

BC land value "increased by over $1 trillion over a decade. It tripled." — Paul Finch, President of BC General Employees' Union This is the largest transfer of public to private wealth happening before our eyes.

She had to pull the mic away twice 😂 Our biggest problems come from the overfinancialization of housing

The greatest conflict of interest: 95% of Canadian MPs own property, 40%+ are landlords. "They definitely don't want the price to go down because they need the money." Nobody in office is saying it: homes can't both be good investments and affordable.

"We should have a shift from taxing earned incomes to taxing wealth and ecological invasions of our commons, and thereby build up a Commons Fund from which we could pay a basic income." - Guy Standing

Workers are overtaxed and 'double-billed': they pay tax on income, which funds public goods that raise their rent. The late economist Fred Foldvary said this is a major cause of income inequality and why we should tax land instead of wages.

When a neighbourhood improves, owners get the wealth; renters pay that wealth. This is a fundamental imbalance in our society that land value tax solves.

Republicans want the Ten Commandments in every public school, but Jamie Raskin hit them with the Constitution — Article VI, Section 3, and the separation of church and state. "You should never be able to vote on a Commandment you've violated, because then we'd be using the Lord's name in vain."

Released on February 7, 1977, Marquee Moon is the debut studio album by the New York City band Television. While it emerged from the same CBGB scene that birthed the Ramones and Blondie, it famously traded three-chord aggression for intricate, jazz-inflected guitar interplay

Born in 1970, and I've seen many Presidents come and go. The best POTUS we've ever had is Trump hands down. Never seen a POTUS immediately get on the ball and get things done the moment they enter the WH. Our border was wide open under Dems 4yrs. Trump sealed it his FIRST WEEK!

This time last month, we were bringing together emerging talent and industry leaders at the HBF Future Talent Conference for a day of insight, discussion and networking. It was inspiring to see energy and ambition from the apprentices, graduates, and trainees shaping the future of home building.

A food bank CEO said fuel costs went from $14,000 to $24,000 a month. That extra $10,000? It was going to feed people. Now it feeds a gas tank. This is the economy they’re bragging about. Tell me again who’s winning.

The term “genocide” is a political slogan, not a proven legal judgment. The International Court of Justice has not declared Israel guilty of genocide, and no credible tribunal has issued such a verdict. The ICJ, World Court in The Hague, did not decide that the claim of genocide is plausible.
