I'm watching a response video to one of my videos, and the guy said that "this is one of the most well studied issues in economics" and I shit you not, brought up an article from THE MISES INSTITUTE
Now he's arguing that free homes won't solve homelessness, because the real problem is cuts to social programs (which he supports).
NOW HE IS ARGUING THAT WATER SHOULD BE PRIVATIZED BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT COULD CASE A SLIPPERY SLOPE WHERE IT BECOMES ILLEGAL TO SELL SODA FOR PROFIT
Now he's arguing that seizing homes from mutli-national corporations who explicitly let them sit vacant to drive up real estate prices is the moral equivalent of robbing a produce vendor on the side of the road.
I need to take a break, my mind is in recovery mode from all these high level ideas.
He keeps saying "I think I know where he's going with this-" and preemptively debunking the arguments he thinks I'm going to make, but then saying "Let's see if he says that" and I don't, and he either doesn't respond to my actual argument or just says "That wouldn't work"
LOL
"The landlord takes a risk, a socialist like you could get in power and seize their land"
