How is this relevant to HN at all outside of being written by "rationalists" that are predominately techies?

I see Georgism and LVT brought up on HN fairly frequently, at least a few times a year. It's a niche economic outlook and set of policy recommendations that many in HN seem to be intrigued by. As someone else pointed out, that definitionally makes it HN material.

    I would counter with:

    > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon

    This is a story about politics, not related to tech in any way, and is not some new phenomenon
