  • Borrowing money against their stuff to get more stuff to borrow money...

  • Your comment doesn't have any value.

    let me use it for capitalism:

    Capitalism is an ideology.

    They think the market will solve all problems ever.

    He's basically like Marx, but instead of charging for the use of something, he thinks taxing work and output will solve all society's problems. Like communists, Capitalists think if you just understand economy and BELIEVE poverty will disappear.

    Capitalism has a lot of merits, but it has lots of drawbacks. It's difficult to punish someone for working, for one. It would also be highly inaccurate in the case of different amount of use of resources.

  • Finally a fellow georgist. How does one work to promote LVT? You mean you got paid to do it and despite that, you are now against georgism?

    IMHO, your reasoning is weird and blown out of proportion. Measuring value of land and housing is easy and is done today for the market, for insurance and for taxing purposes. This could be a reason for georgism to become unpopular, but it isn't a reason against georgism.

    in our case added 0 value to our property and in fact removed value

    The common reasoning with negative value land. This is only brought up because it is an issue in todays world. It wouldn't even be an issue with an LVT. If a strip of land is only costing money, just give it back to the Gov so they need to take care for it, you're not a charity. Otherwise it has a measurable value which you are denying to win an argument.

    It introduces just as many problems as it those it claims to solve.

    No it doesn't. I see one "Problem" LVT doesn't solve, but you haven't mentioned this one yet.

    It makes sense in some limited contexts, like say, urban land use across small and regular parcels, but not all land is urban land. You forget that George was writing when society 70% agricultural and rural and working off a model of undeveloped land.

    This is not valid. George focused on New York. It did include everything from agriculture to fully developed Manhattan. It's called Land Value Tax, not Land Tax.

  • I feel you and I'm glad you asked. The goal of my comment is to invoke interest so one can go down the rabbithole on ones own terms. This has a much more sustainable effect than just serving information on a boilerplate nobody asked for. Much like a catchy title/thumbnail on a yt video generates clicks, but the actual information does not.

    There are a lot of resources about LVT out there including some educational videos in an entertainning way. Pick your own poison: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=georgism

    My Standpoint: Our present tax system is bad (almost worldwide): Tax based on value generated (like income, sales and import taxes) costs society a lot (real costs but also opportunity costs) while simultaniously not solving a lot of todays issues (f.e. tax evasion, old money, zone planning / car centric design, pollution, etc.). Land Value Tax (or more precicely: Resource Tax) solves this by getting rid of the penalty for being productive or creating value while simultaniously taxing those being exponantionally wasteful with resources and/or pollute.

    With LVT, there is now a penalty free incentive to increase profits and/or efficiency. On the other hand, if you consume and/or occupy resources like land, oil or air pollution, you'll have to pay tax for that derived from the resources scarcity. The sum of the tax would be similar or higher than todays sum and would finance all government spending including a citizens dividend which could be interpreted today as unconditional basic income which would provide for basic human needs.

    Georgism is PRO Economy and PRO Humanity. Win Win. Regardless of your political flavor, you should be in favor 😏

    Winners: Society, everyone from poor to rich, resourceful entrepreneurs

    Losers: old money, polluters, unrighteous beneficiaries of today's flawed legal situation

  • One word: Land value tax.

    Every time I see a post like this I am disappointed that NO ONE mentions Henry George.

    People, please, go educate yourself. Taxes were solved before ww1.

  • You mean, just f.e. that they never switched to metric system although they promised. This gotta be europes fault. Definitely. Americans are simply not responsible for their actions the last 300 yrs or so. It gotta be europeans.

  • Am I being held back by using casaos?

    Jump

  • May I suggest you have a look at cosmos cloud? It's comparable to casaOS from a usability standpoint but it is more secure and has much more features like integrated Auth-Proxy.

  • Authelia + Bitwarden + other selfhosted stuff

    Jump

  • Authelia is an authentification provider. So you can have a single login for all your services. It can provide autorisation and authentification with a single unified login.

    Bitwarden is much "simpler", in it's just a passwordmanager. As soon as you start sharing passwords, like you do in bitwarden, you lose the authentification part, even worse, you lose control over the shared login. Anyone with autorisation can "steal" the login as in unauthorized copying/distributing the password or even changing the password alltogether.

    With an sso like authelia you can mitigate such attack vectors.

  • Quick heads up, Nextcloud works perfectly fine behind an auth provider. I am using it behind authentik.

  • Blaming bad usability/lack of features on the user is just what it: a bad excuse.
