Disagree and we can do better than traditional vague tribal gossip with data.

Polls tell us clearly the public would prefer equality of condition with regard to health, education, and access to food of nutritional substance, by their support for policy that enables agency to those ends.

What they don’t care about is policy providing everyone TVs and McMansions.

We can be a bit more specific than the hand wavy, traditional narratives. How much less duplication of effort is there if stability and a casual life is available to the masses keeping truly useful work moving along and not mired down in administrative matters because people need to compete for jobs?

We don’t know because we can’t try. Tacitly making our system unfalsifiable.

When asked privately, opinions diverge wildly from public consensus. No one wants to publicly be the person who blinks.
