    I don't think any tariffs against the US should be retaliatory; just protectionist at best, but otherwise do nothing.

    CW: Taxation

    Why do I keep saying that landowners are the ones that should pay higher taxes?

    It's because it doesn't make sense to me that land ownership should be respected for "not paying into the system".

    Like, if you want to play this silly game that little boys play of territorialism in elementary school playgrounds, where they draw imaginary boundaries, then by all means do so.

    But for people who didn't consent to it, you gotta have a good reason why the respect for imaginary boundaries should be enforced.

    To make it really easy: don't tax improvements; just land ownership.

    CW: Canadian politics and immigration

    RE: techhub.social/@manlycoffee/11

    (Re-posting, but different, because I just found out today that my server supports quote-boosting.)

    I wrote this parable to criticize Canada's immigration situation.

    During heightened immigration, whenever I'd raise concerns that we're bringing in too many people without offering the proper support structures, I'd get accused of being a xenophobe.

    Fast forward to a housing crisis, and increased youth unemployment rate, now people have unfortunately become jaded against immigrants, even though newcomers do not deserve the hate.

    That, and the government has now slammed on the breaks on immigration.

    This cut in immigration numbers is bad.
