    Oh, but what about those poor middlemen that do so much working keeping prices inflated? What will they do for a living?

      Have heard folks unironically make this argument. “The insurance industry! Massive unemployment! My 401k is invested in them! I’ll be ruined!”.

        That’s not an invalid concern, but those jobs will just transition. Probably not a bad idea for a politician to address this concern since there are probably hundreds of thousands of jobs in insurance.
