    It's pure ideology and blind faith in "the market is more efficient by nature", leading to "the state will fuck everything up if it gets the private sector's job"

      Absolutely. The ideological horror of him was also clear in other points. He was against affordable housing and all that and was the opinion since there is not enough housing you ought to liberalize the housing market and allow it to increase rents as much as possible and remove renter protection.

      The kicker is that he did leave the US cause he wanted to get health insurance, profit from comparatively low rents in Berlin and also save on school and university fees for future children. Meanwhile he was against the taxes he had to pay. The ideology is quite encompassing even if it directly works against your benefits - even in neoliberalist hellholes with slightl social democratic leftovers like in Germany.

      We really need a new Gosplan.
