    Water is supposed to flow down. If there’s wood under that water, it’s supposed to rot.

    I’ve become libertarian due to a lot of experience with people.

    It’s the hated ideology exactly because it doesn’t give an outlet to someone’s wish of finding the golden pill and\or being above the nature. Well, there is no satisfaction for such wishes IRL, libertarians are just honest.

    All that text is clueless accusations mixed with implications that you have some better idea. You don’t, look around.

      No, it’s a hated ideology because it doesn’t work, and all it does is show your lack of understanding of how the world and human behavior work

      Letting private businesses run unchecked is always going to be a bad idea. Full stop.

      No one has ever dealt with people before, you clearly have an advantage over every one else. Businesses work exactly like wet wood, it’s a flawless analogy.

      I wasted so much time speaking with politicians, learning about economics and history, and all I needed to do was have experiences with people and I’d be a political genius too. I mean here I am, almost 40 years old, having spent my entire working career and off time dealing with people, but that doesn’t count. None it counts but yours.

      When I look around now vs years ago and see how deregulation is the cause of for almost all of our modern woes, I am left to agree with you, the solution must be even more delegation. Unmitigated greed by earth’s most ruthless people has always heralded a golden age of universal prosperity. Just look at the industrial revolution and the 20s. Children working and dying in factories and mines again is a sign of good things, but society can only succeed if we can sell these kids hard, addictive drugs without legal interference.

          What?! Ha ha, what is cheating in an online comment? Things aren’t "supposed to"ing like you want so its cheating? Cheating means breaking rules. Are saying adhering to some kind of rules or regulations would make our conversations more productive?

      So you’ve met people, and think they’re smart and educated enough to do the right thing all by themselves?

      This seems odd to me

        They are definitely closer to that for doing the right thing all by themselves that for deciding what others will do.
