That will just drive more employers towards part time employees and outsourcing.

The latter, I agree with the former reforms.

You also aren't getting this sort of top down reform without obtaining more political power than the upper class. That's not going to happen without better organizing (Union, political movements, whatever).

These utopian goals turn into dystopias.

Attacking appearing of argument instead of it's content is a fallacy.

He should have targeted your cherry picking and hasty generalizations.

Finding sources to support my arguments is good practice. I do not have the resources to do multi-variate analysis of the problem within the scope of a hackernews thread.

The generalization about utopias is something I've lived through.
