So allowing someone to sign themselves into slavery should be "legal" because it's "impinging on someone's right to enter contracts"? I get that some people balk at "morally reprehensible" as some sort of slippery slope, but c'mon we as individuals have to function somewhat coherently. As a social species reliant on some form of social cohesion (how much oil did you refine this morning?) we have to have some guidelines.
tl;dr It's a weak article. In summary, "Look how wealthy and prosperous we all are compared to the past, society is amazing, technology is amazing. If you are struggling economically/socially/culturally that's on you, the competition is too tough."
I would say it's disingenuous and mocking in sort of a limp way, but I think the author hasn't spent enough time outside or working a "regular-paying" job in a non-central economic region to accurately represent reality.
