DESCRIPTION:Trump's wanting to possess Canada and Greenland is straight outta Manifest 
 Destiny white supremacist mythos-making. But you probably already knew 
 that. What you may not have figured out is the San Francisco-originating 
 Big Idea that functions as the antidote to this pernicious stuff.\n\nCome 
 along on a free walking tour exploring San Francisco's Gold Rush century. 
 The 19th century was all about 100 years of Russians, Chinese, French, 
 Germans, and most certainly white guys from the East Coast treating the 
 land of California and San Francisco as a seemingly unending source of 
 personal wealth simply for calling it theirs. The land seemed 
 inexhaustible. And then there came an of it. That's when the rent hit the 
 fan. Happily, that's when someone with his head screwed on right wrote a 
 book about the social effects of land scarcity. Henry George bailed on the 
 conventional way of thinking that said "Whoever owns the Earth gets to 
 charge rent for others to occupy." George turned that belief on its head 
 with his assertion that "Whoever wants to have society acknowledge private 
 ownership in land needs to pay society to stay off that land!"\n\nThat's 
 the sort of reasoning that obliterates Trump talk. \n\n \n
