One of the problems with making utilitarian safety arguments against freedom is that there is no real stopping point. Flock cameras on the street prevent crime? Why not put them in homes too? Lots of crimes happen at home! You get to pretty draconian places really fast.
@JGov2025@trentloos I could see some situations where that might be possible. There have also been a ton of times where a Democrat politician runs on “I’m very centrist” and once in power just goes bananas (see Abigail Spanberger for a recent example). They are politicians (liars) after all 😂
@JGov2025@trentloos Heck no, vote Libertarian if you’re gonna vote at all. Unless you like being arrested for putting your own property in your pocket.
@DataloreT@BobMurphyEcon I was talking about how one of the primary drivers of cost is the admin required for the insurance industry. That insurance industry exists because the government pays employers to offer it via the tax code. Put more simply, the government is paying the bureaucracy to exist.
@DataloreT@BobMurphyEcon The main cause of the bureaucracy is the insurance industry embedded in the healthcare system. That insurance industry is propped up by subsidies from the government.
