Your personal feelings are no justification for trying to create laws and interfering with other peoples' voluntary transactions in the marketplace.

Ah yes. Here we go. The fabled "free market".

I'm impressed that you seem think there are functioning markets, of any kind, without the rule of law.

Contract law, intellectual property laws, labor laws, health and safety, etc.

Plus a fair and impartial judiciary.

But I'm not telling you anything you haven't heard before, and chosen to ignore.

The alternative to the rule of law is might makes right. Which is exactly what all the libertarian "free market" scams all boil down to.

No thank you.



If libertarian free markets were perfect then Somalia would be the tech capital of the world.


If socialist centrally planned economies were perfect then Moscow would be the tech capital of the world.

Well, that didn't solve anything. Maybe one-liner hyperbole doesn't add much to the conversation.
