Tucker Carlson (called "Right wing" by many on the Left) gave some interesting replies in a conversation with Ben Shapiro (intellectual conservative talk show host). TikTok video - Tucker Carlson interview clip "If you wake up in the morning and you find yourself in a society where 23 year olds, with 4 year college degrees, and like initiative, who aren't smoking weed everyday, if they can't make enough to buy a car, much less a home, much less get married, much less have children, then why should you be surprised when half of them say they prefer Socialism?" Ben Shapiro: "You talk in the book about technology and how it's shifting and taking away jobs from folks. And you make specific reference to truck driving. So, would you, Tucker Carlson, be in favor of restrictions on the ability of trucking companies to use this sort of technology, specifically to sort of artificially maintain the number of jobs that are available in the trucking industry?" "Are you joking?! In a second. Driving for a living is the single most common job for high school educated men in this country. In all 50 states, by the way. That's the same group whose wages have gone down by 11% over the past 30 years. The social cost of eliminating their jobs in a 10 year span... 5 year span... 30 year span... is so high that it's not sustainable. So the greater good is protecting your citizens from... Look, capitalism is the best economic system I can think of, I think that anyone's ever thought of. But that doesn't mean that it's a religion and everything about it is good. I don't want to put 10 million men out of work, because you're going to have 10 million dead families; and the cascading effect from that will wreck your country."
