I've been hearing about some recent sodium ion developments from CATL and BYD. If price estimates are to be believed, things could get interesting.

These two gentlemen have been making the rounds on late night and political shows. They seem nice enough and I appreciate their efforts. However, I haven't heard them suggest a single functional/practical change to move toward "abundance".

We have to overturn Citizens United and get unlimited corporate money out of politics. This is far and away the most important barrier to having a government that works for people.

I believe the most commonly supported tax strategy by economists is an income tax that goes negative below some threshold.

Personally, I'm open to VAT tax because it would be much easier to incorporate the disposal cost into goods and remove externalities (like pollution).

As you've said, it would be ideal to have strategies in place to lessen the burden on people with lower incomes.

This bill doesn't have any of those strategies or objectives.

I think this is the cause of my depression. It's horrendously sad to think about what we could be accomplishing if we were just a little efficient.

Not quite as alarming as these people most likely trying to stalk someone without their permission.
