Some good conversations about “progressive” on here again recently.

My biggest hang up with any full libertarian or bitcoin only etc etc arguments are how the vulnerable in society will fair *today*. So folks with disabilities (millions in US), single moms raising kids, the homeless, elderly poor folks, etc.

Now, I’ve worked my whole career in nonprofits working with these types of populations. I’m less focused on where the money is coming from, and more on how we organize support. Most nonprofits in the U.S. are heavily funded via government grants and state/federal line items. Should we move away from this, I’d be 100% ok with this as long as there is still stable funding for folks to access resources they need! I’m a big fan of direct cash support.

P.S - my roles recently have been focused on development efforts for nonprofits. So fundraising and building healthy and sustainable nonprofit organizations.

Anyway, hopefully that clarifies for some folks as well that want to argue/discuss states role. For me that’s less important/interesting, but we still will need avenues for people to get help/have support when they need. What does that look like?
