You believe that free markets, deregulation, and globalization will lead to increased economic growth, efficiency, and overall prosperity for all.
Neoliberalism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for the deregulation of economic markets, the reduction of public expenditure on social services, and the expansion of free trade. It is rooted in the principles of classical liberalism, which emphasizes individual freedoms and limited government intervention. However, neoliberalism takes these principles a step further by advocating for a more extensive role of the private sector in the economy and society.
The term "neoliberalism" was first coined in the 1930s by German scholar Alexander Rüstow, who pro…

What are your thoughts on automation replacing jobs, and how do you foresee adapting to such a change in your chosen career?
I am not a huge fan of automation replacing the jobs of hard-working American citizens. I understand that it is a symbol of progress but there are jobs that people are losing as a result of this and this can cause harm.
@9J7FPNF4mos4MO
If it is jobs no one wants to work at then automation should take over, of course there is the different issue of getting all Americans working at higher level jobs
@9J6Y4254mos4MO
I dont like automation replacing jobs and picking things for people, I feel an Individual shall do what they want.
@ejyager00Libertarian 4mos4MO
As a software engineer, I am nervous about generative AI replacing parts of my job and reducing the extent of my field. However, I think the benefits of generative AI will be far greater than any detriments to me personally or society at large. I am confident that I will be able to find employment regardless.
@9J6X6RP4mos4MO
Just use Tech as it is today. Nothing more, nothing less.

Do you believe that 'the customer is always right' philosophy is fair to workers?
@9JPGTSR3mos3MO
No the topic of neoliberisam and the idea that the customer is always right is not correct or fair to workers. There have been many scenarios as a retail worker that customers have abused their authority using this and have fired innocent workers.
@9JQ5MRJ 3mos3MO
Customers are not always right, they are people same as the workers. If it becomes a legal dispute it should be handled legally.
@9JQ42KJ3mos3MO
if the costamer says you forgot a singular fry in a mcdonalds drive through that is very pettey and there not right
@9JPMYTX3mos3MO
a customer can say whatever they want but that will not mean that they are right and should get what they want.
@9JPDYPH3mos3MO
No because some customers may demand unreasonable things.
@9JRMHKZ3mos3MO
A customer sometime may not be able to be accommodated to due to legal rules, store/business policy, or lack of sufficient materials.
@9JRCW843mos3MO
I dont agree because there are things that the customer is wrong especially when the company can prove. If its really bad they can get charges against them.
@9JQ2H933mos3MO
I think philosophy “customer is always right” make a sense in some moments, but with it can be follow cases when customer can harm the company, and then to workers.
@9JPDSTJ3mos3MO
No because sometimes the customer is stupid and wrong

How would having access to a universal basic income change your approach to work or education?
@9HTL3QR 4mos4MO
If I was subsidized as little as $500 a month, I could actually afford to take a risk on starting my own business. I’ve had a business model for years, and I know there’s a market for it, but I just can’t take the risk of having zero income until my business starts turning a profit, and my current job won’t allow me to go part time. My back hurts from the physical demands of my job, and I never could afford college. I don’t want a cushy office job anyways, I want to DO things! Having a little cash to help pay bills wouldn’t make me work less, it would allow me to work more actually.
@9HTLD9W 4mos4MO
I believe we would see more innovation than capitalism claims to breed because people would have a safe net.
@9HTKLTT 4mos4MO
As we can see from Reagans regime, it doesn't exactly work as advertised. I am something of an anti-capitalist, and I find it hard to see how any adjustments of this nature could fix such a flawed system.
@9HTKL674mos4MO
It would make it seem that most jobs would be placed at the same low level and not as appreciated for before.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
If a subject you love was no longer offered at school due to budget cuts, how would that impact your academic enthusiasm?
@9KBLM3G 3mos3MO
it would make students less excited to go to school each day
@9KKCMSD2mos2MO
If you are deprived of something that you want while at a place you most likely don't want to be at it will kill motivation.
@9KJ9TCR2mos2MO
If a certain subject that people love is removed, it removes academic encouragement as that subject may have been something students may have been really passionate about.
@9KBM4WT 3mos3MO
If a subject I loved was no longer offered at school due to budget cuts, it would definitely impact my academic enthusiasm
@9KBLF6D3mos3MO
It wouldn't really because I can pursue it on my own
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you feel if your favorite public park was turned into a shopping center to stimulate economic growth?
@9H4L3YH6mos6MO
I would feel mad at first but then inquire as to what led to this decision. As long as nothing interferes with that inquiry and I am satisfied with its depth will I peacefully resign to the park's destruction.
@9H4L8LH6mos6MO
I would be dissatisfied with that choice, but it is what it is.
@9H4L8QFWomen’s Equality6mos6MO
It would be unfair and provide the enviroment with much more enviromental problems.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If a friend from a less privileged background faced barriers you didn't, how did that influence your views on 'equal opportunity'?
@9HTS6J3CA Common Sense4mos4MO
It would tell me that there is no equal opportunity, the person who works harder will have the better opportunity unless they face corruption or bias based on whatever. There is truly no equal opportunity.
@9HTRTV64mos4MO
Makes me have more empathy and understanding for the otherside.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Can you think of a moment when you had to choose between a cheaper product and one made locally, and why did you choose what you did?
@9HYP7BF4mos4MO
I would choose a cheaper product because I can use my money somewhere else and the cheaper product there is really no difference.
@9HYLL88Women’s Equality4mos4MO
Probably the one that got made locally so you can spread about it
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How do you balance the desire for affordable products with concerns about how they're made and the wages paid to workers?
@9HYBX3CProgressive4mos4MO
You balance it by how the employer want you to get payed
@9HYB9BW4mos4MO
I would rather pay more than have workers being treated unethically and not paid well.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What's your take on high school graduates taking a gap year to explore before college or work; is this a privilege or a beneficial practice for society?
@9HK62MMProgressive5mos5MO
I think everyone should be able to take a gap year if they want, but that is a luxury many cannot afford
@9HK5YZP5mos5MO
Privilege, Kids dont take a gap year unless their daddy is loaded or they must directly start working to support their family.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you believe that everyone, regardless of background, genuinely has an equal chance to succeed in a free market economy?
It has always been harder for a person coming from a low income background to succeed as opposed to someone with the finances available to get a head start.
@9H3XZCY6mos6MO
Absolutely not — this is a fallacy. The free market is not free. Extractive capitalism allows humans to act like locusts.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
Have you felt the tension between protecting local culture and embracing global culture, and how do you navigate it?
@9JPF2853mos3MO
I have felt no tension as I enjoy learning and hearing about other cultures. Learning does not necessarily mean you have to adapt the values or beliefs of others but it does benefit yourself to learn and grow from people foreign to yourself.
@9JPDVPKRepublican3mos3MO
yes, I have. You can navigate it by protecting your culture
