liberal vote scolding
Are you being scolded for your liberal vote, or being scolded by liberals?
I assume you're talking about Lemmings betting against fire because they want data centers to burn.
If there's a lot of people betting, then why wouldn't there be depth?
If the data center is causing measurable harm, then a victim losing the bet against fire is still a net gain. If you're acting rationally, then you can afford to do it repeatedly — like insurance. But if people are just flushing their money down the toilet because they hate something and gain nothing from its loss, then they'll go broke.
Marx argued that UBI is capitalism "decked out in socialism" against Henry George. When capitalism is dead, there will be no need for UBI.
In the meantime, we ought to repeat these successful experiments at a larger scale. Any inflationary pressure from UBI might be counterbalanced by deflationary pressure from its taxes. Landlords don't absorb the whole UBI because elasticity is a thing.
They refuse to be tried as individuals. They stand together.
Not to disagree with your central point, but shooting out tires is extremely impractical in real life. It still won't stop the vehicle, and you'll almost certainly miss.
Like when they slowly strangled George Floyd to death over a $20 bill. It's never about the alleged crime. They'll keep murdering people and getting away with it until they don't.
There would need to be sufficient market depth to pay someone to act. So we couldn't just publish $0.01 bets on everything and watch the town burn. "Coasian" solutions like this are limited by transaction costs.
In practice, the owner of the datacenter would need to either eliminate the externality or watch it burn. If the datacenter is worth more than its external cost, then they can reimburse their victims or pay for cleanup. If the revenue from the datacenter is less than its external costs, then it's a net loss for society and ought to be shut down.
You can do split screen like this in Minecraft on the Xbox. That's why I turn on PVP damage while my kids are distracted.
This is the mercy. You attack the oil if you want to end the war.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
I'm fine getting downvoted to hell, but when they start deleting my posts I just block the community. The master's tools can't dismantle the master's house.
