What would normalizing land entail? — Regulate for safety & pollution, don't mandate sameness/"community character." — Maximize rights over your own property, not your neighbors' property; individual not community control. https://t.co/BU5gGfMC7H — PolitiTweet.org

I don't think the moral of the story for Americans living in 2023 is that we should close monasteries or seize church land, but it is evidence that treating land as a more "normal" commodity can have large economic benefits. https://t.co/BU5gGfN9Xf — PolitiTweet.org

During the French Revolution, similarly, church land was seized and sold off to commerce-minded investors — riches ensued. https://t.co/BU5gGfMC7H https://t.co/OPYjdHguAr — PolitiTweet.org

Henry VIII seized monastic land and sold it off to commercial-minded investors, what happened next contributed to the Industrial Revolution growth takeoff. https://t.co/BU5gGfN9Xf https://t.co/Vsm5Yjaqk1 — PolitiTweet.org

As you might expect, I have zero sources in Jamaican politics and just sort of wrote that analysis on a whim but I’ve been interested to learn that this past fall the government reached basically the same conclusion. https://t.co/vE8p2djDXB — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel infrastructure is very costly on islands, current energy prices are exorbitant, and the land use demands of renewables are awkward given the limited geography and economic importance of the landscape. https://t.co/NbiIgmPVQW — PolitiTweet.org

This will be my first trip to Jamaica but I did write about a year ago about why Jamaica (and other island nations) have probably the most to gain from small modular reactors. https://t.co/NbiIgmQtGu — PolitiTweet.org

@bittergertrude @jessesingal There’s a circularity to it, affirming trans youth is good but that requires the wound-be affirmers to perfectly identify who is trans which is itself a nontrivial issue which is part of the reason some people de-transition and thus the argument about de transition prevalence etc — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting story from 1993 — Illinois legislature authorized $937 million in bonds to expand McCormack place but the project turned out to cost $987 million. So the authority sold some bonds with unusually high coupons, raising more than face value. https://t.co/pytJgA0P85 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s hard to cover the story of dogs not barking — “here’s the scoop I don’t have about who was on which side of a fight I’m not even sure happened” isn’t a very good article — but the lack of leaks and incredible job stability is one of the real hallmarks of the Klain Era. — PolitiTweet.org
