The Good News Thread

Ah ... well then that's bullshit.
Once the property is mine, I don't think a company gets to sue me for doing anything with it.
If I commit a crime with it, that's a government issue.
Otherwise, fuckoff.

It's amusing to hear that from people... I find it almost hilarious in some cases. People bitch about "I paid for it, so it should be mine to do with how I want... and the government has no say in it"... when we have been trained like monkeys to actually accept that exact mentality and issue with actual property.

We pay 5k to 10 Million+ for a property, and we are told that we can't fix it, can't repair it, can't build on it without the state saying it is OK to do so... yet when it comes to hardware, we take a hissyfit...

Is anyone here not seeing the irony?

You are not the only one. The only valid reason to need any permission to build something is with regards to connecting to services. If the sewage system at that location cannot handle what is being proposed then that probably should not be built.

Then you contract someone to build on it, but if it doesn't need to be connected to anything owned by the government the property should be mine to do with what I want to, and I should only pay what the property is worth once, and any taxes on the increase of value. To tax what is already taxes is double taxation, and especially in Mass, it's taxation without representation.

Property can also entail externalities that small, hand-held devices do not.
Pour some oil on your hammer, no one cares.
Dump oil across an acre of land, adjacent to other single family homes, that's a problem.

I don't really see in conflict at all, unless you believe acres of land and a claw hammer are identical "property", completely indistinguishable from each other.

But who would think that?

Derp.

Do you get taxed each year for using your hammer?

Ah, the dialect probably tough to decipher for a non-American.
Basically, they're ripping on the dude for saying "You spent a band on a burner and died with it" aka - You dropped a grand on a gun and got killed.
So then they launch into "It's true, they spend $1500 on a glock and get smoked by a .38 ... get killed by a gun with one bullet ... a little Abraham Lincoln Hear Ye Hear Ye ... Buy an AR(15) and get stabbed ... Buy and RPG and get killed with a brick..."

Ahhhhh I dunno.
My sense of humor is weird sometimes I guess.

It is called the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, we get that you don't get it.

Well that's clear as mud.
