So that scheme wouldn't work. 2019-10-06T14:28:49Z Comment by Robin Green All you're saying here is that people wouldn't buy a new house just to get a different colour, they'd just repaint their house because it's cheaper and more convenient. Which is true in $CURRENT_WORLD too, so it'd be no worse in that respect. 2019-10-06T14:18:37Z Comment by Robin Green Although you could destroy your property, because it would be partially common owned (Harberger tax = rent, as noted previously) you would have to pay a fee for doing so. Likewise for exporting it - opposite-world tariffs! Lots of knock-on implications like this. 2019-10-06T14:15:01Z Comment by Robin Green I always find it bizarre when people describe Peterson as a moderate, or even "not conservative". It's very obvious from my perspective that he is a conservative, even an ultra-conservative, and his bashing Disney for subverting themselves is a great example of this. 2019-10-06T13:47:29Z Comment by Robin Green No, the public picking their preferred building designs is not "essentially the market economy"! If you're talking about public buildings, that would be a vote open to all residents of the local area. 2019-10-06T13:24:17Z
