@patrickhadfield Being driven by corporate techo-bros + gullible politicians, and naive medics. Would only be viable if we had globally robust measures to addresses the political issues of data ownership + use by tech corporations & their enablers. #NeverGoingtoHappen. I fear it will mostly be used to exclude people as being hopeless/unworthy/ not cost effective/criminal. To me this seems a far bigger & more problematic issue than the assisted dying debate, which was fundamentally *very human*.

Last year, a Victorian tax brought in $11.3 million from investors with empty residential properties. Shouldn't every state do the same? #NeverGoingToHappen #PigsFly #PropertyLobby #Victoria #nsw #greed

Why Victoria's vacant homes tax could be missing the vast majority of empty properties owned by investors

It's a Victorian tax hitting up investors sitting on empty residential properties β€” but analysis suggests it could be missing roughly 90 per cent of so-called "ghost homes" eligible for the charge, less than a year out from a planned expansion of the levy.

A sack of spuds would be better than just 1 potato.

The Dems have about one million people who would be better than DJT.

Bernie? AOC? I can dream but #NeverGoingToHappen

Biden/Harris might be best choice at this point in the election.

Look man, the Dems could put up a literal potato for president, and that would STILL be a better vote than going all-in on fascism like the Republicans are doing. You don't even have to like Biden to vote for him over white nationalist president. #politics #USpol #BlackFedi #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #capitalism

@ghost_shit Absolutely !
Implementing a substantial vacant property tax could be a significant step toward alleviating the housing shortage in Australia. With over a million vacant homes, it's crucial to incentivse property owners to either rent out or sell these properties, making more homes available for those in need. #pigsfly #nevergoingtohappen #greed
@Roadwarrior29 and none of what he promised was delivered.
It's the same this time. But. Wev'e seen this story before. Once bitten, twice shy.
