An LVT would massively disrupt millions of people's long-term plans

this seem like a fully general argument, any law change is going to disrupt people's long term plans,

e.g. the abolishment of slavery also disrupt people's long term plans

 I suppose you can argue that the magnitude is too big, put then I would assume that some period of phasing in would help.

you can argue that the short term cost is more than the long term gain but I am not convinced.

 The government has incentives to inflate their estimates of the value of unimproved land

by your own logic, the government also has incentive to inflate their estimate value of income or whatever is being taxed right now?

 Another major issue is that a full or near-full land value tax would likely establish a troubling precedent by signaling that the government has the appetite to effectively confiscate an additional category of assets that people have already acquired long ago through their labor and purchases.

would you still oppose it if the tax is only add to new purchase?

I maybe mistaken as to the availability of the lab grown meat to the general public. apparently they are no longer on sale

https://www.wired.com/story/upside-foods-good-meat-cultivated-lab-grown-sale-stopped-singapore-california-crenn/

seem like my information are out of date

Or try to buy lab grown meat paste? I am given to understand that they are expensive but available

edit: upon further research it seem you can only get them in Singapore and with a very limitted selection [?one]

sorry for the late reply, I was travelling

here are my guesses as to why the format made me uncomfortable
 

 - The passage is a transcript from a spoken conversation, with incomplete sentences, colloquial phrasing, and less structured presentation compared to a well-edited article. This format can be harder to process, as spoken language often lacks the clarity and conciseness of written language.

 - I am neurodivergent so the text's lack of structure, lack of context, and overwhelming detail might amplify discomfort or disengagement.

 - The passage reiterates concepts in slightly different words which can feel tedious or redundant.

I think another problem with the hypothetical is scope insensitive. I mean I read 10 trillions usd and feel no difference from 10 millions usd or less. And it is unclear whether 10 millions is worth 10 of my fingers, while intellectually I think 10 trillions supposed to be worth it. Hence the discomfort.

just want to express my opinion what I do not like this format, without any other implication.
specifically:

• I found it hard to read [as in painful [physically] to read]
• I found it hard to engage/understand the material [after I've read a bit I lose track of what the point/topic]

I was under the impression that the biggest cost of grid electricity is stability, that is most of the time the price charged on consumer is much [i.e. about 2x] higher than the average cost on the grid market, but occasionally the grid market price would go up astronomically [ say 1000x] for brief periods of time [say hours], and the household consumer would be insulated from that. I thought that something similar happened in Texas when a cold snap happened?

if you are confident that your battery can hold you over those crunch period I assume you can just import grid energy at grid market price cheaper than the solar can provide [currently you can get paid 0.03/kwh for using electricty at peak solar here is Sydney]. I mean your solar, no matter how cheap, can not beat being given money. or so was the result last I did the math in Australia.

Actually I don't have the number now but the calculation I did suggested that running solar but using the grid as a battery is more cost effective than running your own battery, but my result may not generalise.

I am suprise you can get gas so cheap where you are, in Sydney the cost of electricity is similar to you 0.33/kwh but gas is 0.17/kwh. Have you check if you are receiving some subsidies for it?

In the context of minimum wage.

I assume Abdullah has many options mean he has many job offers/alternatives to jobs.

What does it mean for Benjamin to have many options?

But wasn't bell lab the most innovative when they had monopoly? I recalled people telling me that monopoly has more money to invest in R&D.
