I’m generally pro-market/capitalist but for different reasons than libertarian idealists who think the market will magically fulfill a function like weather service or environment more “efficiently.” Which means I’m pro-state in more cases, and *different* cases.

The State is for public goods, the market is for regular goods. Things like roads, healthcare, education, etc. are things that everyone needs and no one person can truly pay for. It's not that complicated

A public good is something that everyone needs, but 1 person cannot truly pay for...I said it in the tweet.

That’s the conventional definition and it’s not actually useful. It sounds clearer than it is.
