The Uberization of America was supposed to woo millennials to the free-market libertarian perspective. It hasn’t worked out that way.

The demographic that thinks markets are cool when it comes to trying craft beers doesn’t seem eager to try them more extensively in health care or perhaps even education. I called an Uber while covering a Sanders rally in Iowa. My driver had been an attendee, excitedly extolling Bernie’s virtues as I was being charged double surge pricing.

Maybe the kids don’t know any better (itself possibly a consequences of our failure to teach them). But just as it is hard to sell Republican-leaning retirees and near-retirees on Social Security privatization, younger folks drowning in student loan debt and staying on their parents’ health insurance plans courtesy of ObamaCare might be more receptive to government solutions than promises to claw these benefits back.
