alt Hacker NewsIs it more selfish and narrow minded to wish for a "utopia" that is economically unsound and happens to be your personal preference, or to wish for productive workers' salaries to increase - something with an actual track record of improving any society it occurs in?
All perl programmers should be wishing for ponies, that's definitely less narrow minded.

Universal healthcare is very sound economically. Costs are lower and outcomes better than under private insurance, and overhead is dramatically reduced.

The economically sound thing is to accrue more power to those with wealth. The owners will have access to a machine that turns money into money without a cent flowing outside of the owner class. That'll improve society /s.
What part of universal health care, higher minimum wage and lower housing costs sounds like "utopia" to you?
That's just the system we have, but slightly better and completely achievable.
