Questions: Society & Politics

I support private ownership, entrepreneurship, and the ability for a private sector to exist and thrive. I denounce socialism, communism, and a distribution of weath as a go-to, defacto solution. However, I also do not believe everything should be privatized, as I support a mixed economy.

I do, however, believe there is a greed issue, and our youngest generations are not stupid. The "Own nothing: be 'Happy'" initiatives are predatory. Even Charlie Kirk said himself the lack of being able to have homeownership and real assets will radicalize a generation. In addition, when big tech companies conspire to spy on their customers while partnering with the federal government, this should send chills down everyone's spines.

I agree with Tucker Carlson that the Boomer generation has failed everyone. I agree with one of his guest speakers that everyone wants to grow their piece of the pie, but growing your piece by expanding your pie is the approach rather than consuming the rest of the pie (destroying everyone else's wealth at one's gain).

In addition, criminalizing homelessness when people can barely afford rent as they work multiple full-time jobs is inhumane and abhorrent. Enacting and enforcing strict zoning ordinances and preventing others from seeking alternative forms of housing, whether that be RVs or tiny homes, is disgusting. You either put up and remedy the housing issues or shut up and let people survive the way they see fit. I don't care how much of an eyesore it is to open your curtains in your McMansion and see a mobile home planted on the lawn next door. Your greed doesn't allow you to screw with others' living situations.
