re: Uber and Lyft Are The Arguments to turn (Social) Liberals to Libertarians

There will be other smaller countries that will adapt quicker.

who?

western europe is fighting these even more strongly due to their anti-liberty, pro-reg beliefs. china is no threat due to it still being authoritarian. india doesn't have the money of infrastructure, yet. no other country develops this tech on a large scale right now, anyway.

I see the massive wealth created as an opportunity to live human lives fuller.

i don't see how decreasing public spending and redistribution of wealth is in contrast with this idea

And where would poor people go?

i don't know and i don't really care. our social welfare is so robust that we support our own poor AND other countries are literally combining efforts to send their poor here to suck off the siphon

they only want to leave their home countries when there is more opportunity elsewhere.

i think there will be some opportunity here, but if they are not part of an advanced economy, there won't be opportunity here. their "opportunity" is social welfare programs (aka, having other people fund their poor life choices). remove that and farm work in mexico is better
