Fire Alarm

Oct. 30th, 2025 03:09 am
There was a fire alarm in my apartment building at around 11:30 PM on Tuesday. I put on my shoes and evacuated the building, before I could return, take care of a few things, and go to bed.

When I got home late Wednesday, I just collapsed and fell asleep, before getting up to eat a very late dinner. One bright spot in my day Wednesday was that I met a friendly beagle mix and his human, near the Patent Office. And now to shower and go to bed.
There is an article in Reason about proposals to abolish the property tax, making several good points. In particular, I noted this sentence: “[Milton] Friedman’s qualified support for property taxes (and specifically property taxes on the value of unimproved land) was premised on the idea that the taxes that would replace it, namely sales and income taxes, are more economically destructive.”

They are also more contrary to justice, in my opinion.
