I think the most important point that the author makes is not whether property and the earth are common goods or not, it's simply that there's enough food for everyone. There's enough food to keep everyone well fed. There's enough homes to keep everyone housed and safe. There's enough health care resources to keep most people reasonably healthy. But we choose that some should starve, some should be homeless, and some should die prematurely because it allows some others to live a slightly more decadent lifestyle. Some, an obscenely lavish lifestyle. And yes, it is a choice we make as a society. I'm not advocated for communism. We don't need a Gini Coefficient of 1. But maybe we could take some steps in the direction of sharing a bit more rather than continuing to rush in the other direction, and claiming that it's the fault of the poor that they aren't wealthy. UBI isn't impossible or unreasonable. It just would mean that some folks- and probably a lot of the people on HN given software developer compensation lately- would need to do with a slightly less decadent lifestyle.
