  • Henry George wrote about this extensively. The solution is a tax on all land at just under 100% of it’s rental value. That allows landlords to profit from the structures they build and maintain, but not from the land itself. It disincentivizes real estate speculation, lowering the cost of land and housing and improving accessibility to people who use it productively.



  • Am I the only one who’s having trouble processing the fact that Leela and Nibbler casually murdered someone early in the episode? I mean Futurama has always shown a lot of dark or mean humor, but that really threw me. Especially when they followed it up with such a sentimental story. I don’t like it when shows try to mix the two. Either I’m watching the show with the mindset that nothing matters, or I’m getting invested in the characters and their arcs. I don’t know about other people, but I can’t do both at once.


  • I vaguely remember seeing a news article about something like that. I think it was a game where killing enemies caused files to be deleted from your computer. It was portrayed as some kind of artistic statement about digital possessions or something.

    Someone in the forum where it was being discussed sarcastically said they developed a live action version called “playing baseball inside.”
