eigenrobot @eigenrobotgosh 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 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 7 likes -

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

Side note: NJ's biggest country, Bergen County, was the first American county to end homelessness. It's resolution was pursued aggressively and intentionally, and it's a good case study for this kind of thing (alongside European counterparts)
