I’m very pro-redistribution, assuming it’s for the purpose of enabling people to be more effective at scale. Making it easier for people to move into & around the country, acquire useful skills & models, etc. So far gov seems pretty good at rallying resources *against* this

You can disagree with my perspective, but I'm a shameless capitalist shill because I genuinely believe that compounding economic growth makes life better for the large-but-dwindling group of people who are currently suffering inescapably

Does geographically unrestrained matter as much nowadays with remote work beginning to gain in popularity? Might be better for gov to allocate resources towards retraining so you have the highly skilled portion at least?

Remote work is still kinda overrated —even within tech, where it actually makes sense. There's a lot of valuable work that requires physical presence, but beyond that, human beings tend to cooperate better & get more done when they can make use of evolutionary social scaffolding

Businesses demanding cheap labor is an extension of the market demanding cheap goods and services. A lot of people want affordable education, but ask the same people if teachers should be paid more and you can see the contradiction.
