This isn’t socialism this is capitalism the people of the Seminole tribe are essentially receiving dividends. Without the casino, a capitalist machine in the truest for, there is no money to pay the people.

A Baker should be able to refuse to bake a cake he doesn’t want to make. He shouldn’t even have to give a reason. Anything less than that is by definition forced labor.
You mean the non-heavily moderated platforms allow for discussion on topics you care about by people who disagree with you.
“This is why people on the left are so exasperated with centrists”
Are you suggesting that Macron is a centrist? Because I don’t follow.
“If that Christian customer instead asks for a blank cake that they’ll decorate themselves, the baker must sell it to them or else they are violating the equal protections clause.”
This is an issue too though. The only person who can enforce the requirement that the Muslim Baker sell the cake is the government and the only way the government can force someone to work is through force. What you end up with is the government using threat of force to require someone to work. Which is slavery at its core. Anyone should have the right to refuse work if they don’t want to.
The original commenters point was to use this as an example for why Universal Basic Income is a good idea and my point is that without capitalism this doesn’t work. You couldn’t reproduce this to cover the cost of UBI for everyone. It only works because it lives off of a very profitable industry and services a small group of people.
