Like brothers and sisters

If only our past behavior could give you some insight into the kind of people we are and how we can be expected to behave in the future. But given the complete absence of data I guess that’s just impossible. Oh well.

Locking them up helps all the other people they won’t have the opportunity to hurt or kill

They tried that once and it didn’t work out very well for them

Maybe we should have given it a less powerful sounding name, or moved away from fossil fuels decades ago idk I’m not a doctor

Rents will presumably rise accordingly, and then be captured in the form of a tax that is both very difficult to evade and no longer harms economic efficiency

Generally speaking landlords charge as much in rent as the market will bear. If they could get away with charging more they would already be doing so.

And now the robot is a revolutionary communist, great job guys.

Georgeism would not increase your overall tax burden, it would shift taxation away from things like income and sales tax and toward land value (excluding improvements like your home). Your overall tax burden would only increase if you occupy a larger then average share of the total land in existence (by value, not physical area), and for the large majority of people it would decrease appreciably.

Post pictures of the tree and GPS coordinates. Name and shame.

When the original comment is unserious I don’t think un unserious reply is out of line.

It’s the former. Anyone checking your history would be able to see a pattern of bad faith misinterpretation of other people’s comments, so I’m going to assume that’s what’s going on here, too.

We’re going to keep doing the Genocide Joe thing until Donald Trump has the nuclear codes

Ok but consider that you can turn the soldiers back into juice afterwards. It’s not great fuel but it’s decent lubricant.
