America was giving away millions of acres of land...there was a willingness to give the white peasants from Europe an economic base. And yet it refused to give its black peasants from Africa who came involuntarily, in chains, and had worked free for 244 years any kind of economic base. -MLK

There’s nothing illegal about leaving a cabana empty for hours — it’s just rude.
Which is why Australians instantly understand why empty homes during a housing shortage don’t sit right either.
Same instinct. Same problem. Bigger consequences.

I do not care about contrived drawbacks from an ageing population, Lois. And a steady decline in TFR as a result of womens' education and empowerment is not undesirable, in my view.

Just because land is zoned for housing doesn’t mean homes get built. Land banking proliferates when land values aren’t taxed. Why build when you can profit by doing nothing? Land tax changes the incentive: use it productively or pay a holding price.

Why did Australia not have an official representative at this important commemoration of the end of the Pacific war? We should have been there alongside our then allies!

Murkowski votes yes and hopes it doesn’t pass.
Hawley says it’s terrible for his constituents and the middle class … yet votes yes.
It’s pretty simple: words don’t matter. Votes do.

so is it the official view of the white house that race is a biological reality?
I’m not linking to the damn thing, here:
![For example, the Smithsonian American Art Museum today features “The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture,” an exhibit representing that “[s]ocieties including the United States have used race to establish and maintain systems of power, privilege, and disenfranchisement.” The exhibit further claims that “sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism” and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating “Race is a human invention.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4d76fjna5nxqsy2fu6cgmp3/bafkreihc3vsdrvtmlyrp4aix3zpcbqvgeplnz3vis6p5itlxtmo5b5lwpy@jpeg)

Eyebrows were raised on Tues night when Jim Chalmers announced the government crackdown on land banking by foreign owners. But the issue isn't foreign owners land banking. It's all land banking. The best way to control land banking is a land tax.
