news.ycombinator.com Brook Covers Louisiana Government 2025-07-21 13:45:18

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana on Thursday canceled a $3 billion repair of disappearing Gulf coastline, funded by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement, scrapping what conservationists called an urgent response to climate change but Gov. Jeff Landry viewed as a threat to the state’s way of life. Despite years of studies and reviews, the project at the center of Louisiana’s coastal protection plans grew increasingly imperiled after Landry, a Republican, took office last year. Its collaps

This marks the twelfth eruption since volcanic activity reawakened in this region in 2021. The eruption began on the Reykjanes Peninsula’s Sundhnúkur crater row around 4 a.m.

Fyre Festival’s Brand Rights Get a Fire Sale on eBay

Today I walked my final blocks of Staten Island, the only borough I had left to complete.

Some arguments against a land value tax (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Matthew Barnett 2025-08-01 04:14:21

To many people, the land value tax (LVT) has earned the reputation of being the "perfect tax." In theory, it achieves a rare trifecta: generating government revenue without causing deadweight loss, incentivizing the productive development of land by discouraging unproductive speculation, and disproportionately taxing the wealthy, who tend to own the most valuable land. That said, I personally think the land value tax is overrated. While I'm not entirely against it—and I think that several of th
