      you know what enforces "legibility"? the crushing weight of mandatory utility under capitalism. The state doesn't even come close to the levels of "destroy you for not fitting in a box" that markets do the state protects against not fitting in a "useful" box meaning death

      yes, it does this badly yes, markets/capitalism is the best system we have yes, the commies were wrong no, "free markets" can never provide for the "useless", and destroying support structures because you're mad they're mandatory will kill people so, how many should die?

      i know some of my followers/mutuals on here are hard core "state bad" libertarians and please know i don't hate you or think you're evil, but i think the political ideology you support implies a kind of passive genocide, and every now and then i'm gonna get a little mad about it

      gosh this is such a bummer to read yeah any policy implemented at scale, no matter how well designed, is going to have some bad results some subset of such policies is worth implementing anyway because the net benefits in some sense outweigh the net costs https://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1004400861865488384 …

      to answer more directly though any broadscale social scheme is going to have major problems with deadweight loss, moral hazard, adverse selection, and a bunch of other things that make it actually incredibly hard to get nice universal outcomes

      the entire point of third way liberalism was that "lets have some transfers and tax progressively but otherwise just let the engine of the market fucking GO" cuts around a lot of these problems and solves most of the object level problems you mention

      in the US most of the remainder has less to do with there not being enough money for things and more to do with (i) really shitty regulation that screws low income people, and (ii) deeply intractable social problems that no one knows how to solve

      about a quarter of the people in the US roughly speaking have an IQ of 90 or less about 10% have an IQ less than 80 that's like 35M people i dont know how much time you spend around people in this state but it is often difficult for them to get their lives in order

          homelessness is a good case study for this sort of thing there are roughly three tranches of homelessness: 1. homeless for economic reasons. lost job, have family, basically functional people. dealing with this is straightforward

          2. homeless because of addiction problems. this is difficult because the dependency is strong enough that people will refuse to eg go to a shelter if they have to stop using, and shelters have a difficult time putting addicts up because they often have behavioral issues
