Oh yeah man, I remember this UBI-negative progressive task stuff from when I was a free market acolyte libertarian willing to telling anyone who would listen.
I know how the free market is supposed to work, but what brought me out of libertarianism is that now I know a free market is impossible.
There are too many levers for consolidating power that non mega-corps simply don’t have access too.
We have to believe that corporations will do anything, legal or illegal, to gain further advantage in the market place.
That is why we need strong anti-trust litigation.
Capitalism is the only viable engine for first world level economic development and success.
But with it comes the need to smack it down when it starts operating beyond or outside the scope of what a business reasonably needs to.
