- djrjdjcjf 11y agoNo it's not: that article was objectively trash. It was one giant false dilemma logical fallacy between having economic growth or having low economic inequality.

- yummyfajitas 11y agoYou should go read the article rather than assuming it's restating your favorite straw man. The specific claim of the article is that a) inequality isn't intrinsically bad, b) bad things can cause inequality (SF nimbys creating a housing shortage), c) good things can cause inequality (Uber), d) we should focus our efforts on (b) rather than inequality.

- nether 11y agoYeah it's really not about inequality at all, but about the bad things. If there were zero inequality, with everyone in equal poverty, we should attempt to fix poverty. Likewise with non-zero inequality.
