I'm not saying its an easy problem. I'm saying the solution of a wealth tax is not going to solve it, at all. Especially when there is a state that prides itself on being a tax haven is within commuting distance. Solutions that won't work in reality are not solutions - a wealth tax is to a...

Wealth taxes are different from income taxes, for a variety of reasons. Conflating the two and switching back and forth is not an effective way to get to the truth. My proposal is to partner with local employers, not tax them more.

Securities are how factories get built, how companies get started. We live in a financialized economy, and thats how things are done. When the vast majority of companies build something new, like a factory, or a store, or whatever, they do so with debt (bonds). Most healthy companies have 1x-2x...

Again: the wealthy would structure their wealth in such a way as to avoid the tax. It would get you almost nothing. Especially because the ultra-rich are the ones that have the most resources to legally avoid the taxes.

Correct - it was pretty clearly going to be something built there, originally, but honestly a nice little park there isn't bad. I lived on Common St (moved away 4 years ago this month, crazy where the time goes), just up the hill from there, and walking around this area, it looks a lot nicer to...

Exactly. Underwater pipelines are not exactly high tech. MA should pursue it on paper, and then approach NY, explaining that MA would much rather work with NY to get this done and have the opportunity for some jobs in NY to come from it, but if they’re not interested, working with NJ is on the...

Go around them or persuade them.

Or just build the pipelines necessary to connect to the broader natural gas network.

Shift away from an overabundant cheap and reliable source of energy.

Thanks!

I was hoping for just a simple map, sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I'm sure it was shared somewhere, but I'm struggling to find it. Does anyone know where I can find the proposed layout as seen in that instagram video? All the others seem to have no rotaries, and trying to compare a video to an image is a bit of a hassle.
