> it's hard to have a good response to the "computers are taking all our jobs" argument. The right response is, "What's the alternative (or solution)?" You could also point out that many of the problems we have now could be described as inefficiencies ultimately caused by not giving individuals enough choices and/or freedom or by subsidizing the wrong things (overpriced housing, discounted degrees in metaphysical therapy, employer-provided healthcare, etc.). I could be missing something but most of the solutions I hear about involve more restrictions on employment or more targeted subsidies. I'm not convinced that we won't just be a different kind of wrong in another generation.
