Thanks for the welcome! I'm not trying to argue in bad faith. I think this scheme would help minorities and the poor disproportionately, so I'm hopeful I can convince leftists that despite the dollar signs involved this is actually a very good plan.

It seems to me that the monetary blood donation reward is poorly thought out and has a lot of problems that this kidney-selling system is trying to sidestep. In particular, I think this kidney system isn't going to encourage poor people to donate their kidneys at all -- it will only give a monetary reward to people who pay lots of taxes (the middle class+).

I have a low opinion of NYT also. I was onboard with (carefully) monetarily rewarding kidney donations already.

An incomplete list:

Leftism

• structural racism/sexism/etc. exists and is a serious problem that needs to be addressed
• police as a concept needs to be completely rethought
• we should tax the rich and give to the poor
• free healthcare, maybe UBI even
• The U.S. needs to stop interfering in the political systems of other countries

Libertarianism:

• Privacy should be a human right
• The DMCA is a disaster, DRM is evil, and copyright terms are way too long
