b) means no rental is possible at all, pretty much. Rentals do serve a purpose. a) means a lot more accounting that can get out of sync and has to be checked somehow, which means administrators and cheating is going to happen. Not as simple IMO.

Why should a down town mansion be exempt?

Well the sellers have to be willing to sell at the price offered by buyers, otherwise there is no transaction.

It's going to be very complicated to count with a bunch of cross-owning company structures. I think just taxing all land according to how in demand it is is more likely to work well. To ease the burden on the least fortunate, reduce tax on the lowest tax bracket or even add a bit of basic income to compensate. The rules get simple this way, and it doesn't focus at all on number but rather on value.

#1 Comparing "overpaying rent" to owning a home kind of makes it a skewed comparison as it implies you *wouldn't* be overpaying to buy the house (or continuing to own it - there's an alternative cost to owning, you know).

No one got fired for choosing IBM/Microsoft/Oracle/SAP. "Proven solution for insight and growth", etc.

Here's even bigger number: $2.1 billion. That's how much they expect the whole restructuring to cost, mostly in severances paid to those laid off employees.

There's a line there. For example: Voting to adjust taxes even though the adjustment would raise them for you but you believe it's still better for the community just because it's fairer or because you think there'd be good second order effects. That's quite generous.

But voting to remove your own autonomy is different. You've gotta have quite low opinions of your own group for that to be generous, selfless act.

Well I mean Canada may have female firefighter too, but probably not these ones

Uh, you seem to take it very personally that people have negative things to say about which image you chose to post. Maybe reflect a bit on that.

The guy who said training their models uses less resources than raising a child has psychological problems? Can hardly believe it!

So it's actually possible to do the "chicks, and booze, and guns, and firetrucks" party without it implying somethings already gone way wrong?

Maybe not for that kind of birthday party.

What to do when the loser refuses to give up their land to the winner? Wars don't cost lives because we have no other way of competing, they cost lives because people are willing to make that sacrifice to collectively stand their ground and protect their country.

Probably, yes, but a huge part of the revolution in this war is treating the drones as ammunition. What they destroy or protect from destruction is ludicrously more expensive than the cost of the drone anyway.

And flying back to the operator introduces a risk of revealing their position.

Could be a surveillance drone, that.

I don't think this is capable of shooting down shahed style drones, they're too fast. Ukraine has a much cheaper (than patriot) answer to those too, but I would guess that this isn't it.

Could it really be anything else? Surely not with any high probability

It's probably a question of cost. Those clay containers surely are super heavy (bad for freight, if that's a goal) and labor intensive to create.

Ok, so they'll only be able to score 80000 hits with the drones they already have, then. Jay. Assuming you get all the productions lines.
