Peter Thiel mentioned about Henry George and current runaway rent problem in other countries as well. This is something that I've been observing as well as part of trying to find 'the place to live'. Interestingly he also mentioned about the need to continue govt spending to keep the 'Blue City States' like SF, NY, Chicago afloat.

Separately, the likely next Secretary of Treasury (Howard Lutnick) talks about using mineral and oil to balance the budget partially. Also I didn't know federal income taxes were first introduced only in 1913 (the year Fed was formed!) Prior to that country was run on tariffs for like 100+ years (1789-1913)! There were some earlier attempts at federal taxes, but they were mainly to fund the Civil War and were temporary.
