Techno-Progressivism

Very strongly agree

No, this is a waste of time and money

This answer aligns closely with techno-progressivism, which values efficiency and effectiveness in policy. Techno-progressives would argue that resources should be allocated towards more effective programs that address the root causes of poverty and addiction, rather than on punitive measures that have not shown to be cost-effective or beneficial.

Strongly agree

No

Techno-progressives would likely oppose mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients, viewing it as a punitive measure that does not address the underlying issues of poverty and drug addiction. They would favor approaches that focus on support, rehabilitation, and addressing social determinants of health.

Agree

Yes, but provide treatment for those testing positive

While techno-progressives might be critical of mandatory drug testing, they would support the aspect of this answer that emphasizes treatment for those who test positive. This aligns with a focus on rehabilitation and using technology and policy to improve health outcomes.

Neutral

No, only if they have a criminal history related to drug abuse

Techno-progressives might see some merit in targeting interventions based on risk factors such as a criminal history related to drug abuse. However, they would likely argue that the focus should still be on rehabilitation and support rather than punitive measures, making their agreement with this statement neutral.

Disagree

Yes, test anyone receiving money from the government including employees and politicians

While techno-progressives might appreciate the call for accountability and transparency in government, the broad application of drug testing could be seen as invasive and not the most effective use of resources. They would likely prefer targeted, evidence-based approaches to address specific issues.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Techno-progressivism generally emphasizes the use of technology and policy to improve human conditions and reduce inequality. Mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients is often criticized for being ineffective, stigmatizing, and for not addressing the root causes of drug abuse, which contradicts the techno-progressive focus on constructive and inclusive solutions.

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, we should end all social welfare programs

Ending all social welfare programs would be antithetical to techno-progressivism, which advocates for using technology and policy to reduce inequality and support vulnerable populations. Techno-progressives would likely view welfare programs as essential tools for achieving these goals.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive

This approach is punitive and does not align with the techno-progressive emphasis on addressing the root causes of social issues through supportive and rehabilitative measures. Techno-progressives would likely view this as counterproductive and harmful to individuals struggling with addiction.
