It will be a tremendous self-own if Harris picks Shapiro as her VP nom. Although Harris is probably not going to change any policy on Israel/Palestine, she has plausible deniability with those libs who are rightly appalled with Biden over that policy, because she has no record of her own, and can say some nicer things. Picking this guy would kill her plausible deniability.

It’s like how Clinton needed to pick a soft progressive VP in 2016 to appease Bernie voters, but doubled down and picked Tim Kaine. The VP slot is supposed to protect your turnout by shoring up where you’re weak.

Land and houses aren’t private property unless you’re renting them out. If they aren’t a financial asset, they’re just personal property.

Businesses are an interesting question? The Federation, or at least its core worlds, doesn’t use money (by the 24th century). The only business we see onscreen, on a Federation core world, as far as I can remember, is Sisko’s Creole Kitchen. If there’s no money, why does Joseph Sisko run it? My guess is to maintain the tradition of Creole cuisine, to perfect his skills as a chef, to meet and interact with guests, and to preserve an historic New Orleans building by keeping it in use. Is it private property? Does he own it? He owns the business in some abstract sense, but the building? Probably not. I’d expect he holds it in trust in some kind of legal arrangement with the city, but there’s really no onscreen evidence.

Anthropology is real, political economy is real, economics is fake. That’s why an anthropologist can publish bangers in economics journals.

No, and neither is stacking them.
