    Yeah I’m just an ordinary guy, you know? I don’t have all the answers. I’m just saying we need to look further, consider more options. Maybe your modification is better or necessary. Maybe not. My point was we need to stop merely putting our finger on the scale to create incentives to make capitalism do better and just consider perhaps a solution lies, at least in part, outside that framework.

      Well, that’s part of what collaboration (in good faith!) is for. No one of us has all the answers, but we can put forward proposals, hash it out, and hopefully what comes out is workable for a broad selection of the working class. Farms, factory, and office workers alike.

      Problem is, conservatives only need to poison the well a little bit to destroy the presumption of good faith. Any pointing out of issues that would affect one group disproportionately is treated with suspicion, and the whole thing falls apart.
