Interesting 1860 map of the Loveland and Cincinnati Railroad that I just found on Library of Congress website. The right of way of this railroad is now mostly the Loveland bike trail.

@HedgeDirty This isn't incompatible with Georgism, and I think it's even a logical extension of it. If we can measure positive and negative externalities, we can subsidize/tax them.

I believe property taxes are the least bad/distortionary way to fund necessary govt functions
But my hottest anti-Georgian take is that if the fundamental reason your land is valuable is bc people want you as a neighbor, then you 100% morally deserve to capture that value

@pronounced_kyle Do a trial run in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Uranium mines on site, road access to rest of North America, difficult climate.

The electricity bill for a normal winter at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station is $18,000,000.
Today, the generators use jet fuel.
Time to go nuclear?

Anyone know why my blog humantransit.org has so many readers in Singapore these days? Is it a known haven for bots of some kind? Singapore is great but I haven't written about it lately ...

@FifthRocket @mattyglesias Never miss an opportunity to extol land value taxes!

This is why land value tax won't work.

The three largest institutional investors control 21% of the U.S. stock market. What might it look like if they caused firms to collude with each other to raise and prices and reduce quality? And are they doing that right now? Let's go read this masterpiece together. 1/

Why aren't Reverse Morris Trusts (as proposed with the $60B Unilever Foods - McCormick deal) more common? Great question.
The short answer is that there are strict requirements* to qualify for an RMT.
First, there has to be a parent firm wishing to divest/spin a sizeable business.
Second, the parent has to find a partner of a specific size willing to merge with the divested business, and that partner should want to be the acquisition target, because.. 👇
Third, the divested business needs to be an acquirer in the transaction, with the parent shareholders owning more than 50% of the combined firm, so there has to be a specific valuation/size differential between the divested business and the merger partner/target (the shareholders of which will need to give up control of their firm and will own less than 50% of the combined firm).
Fourth, from what I understand, these are rather complex transactions in terms of structure and legal checkpoints/requirements.
Interestingly, one of the most prominent recent RMT transactions was the creation of Warner Bros. Discovery, which resulted from a spinout of Warner Media from AT&T, with AT&T shareholders owning over 70% of the combined firm. Apparently, John Malone was a big fan because of the tax advantages.
*Keep in mind that I am not a corporate lawyer, so there may be things I'm missing here.
