    And all the libertarians cry about is how it’s not real free markets and that’s why we don’t have nice trains and public education etc. not understanding that it’s government funding and regulations that’s just barely keeping everything (pun intended) on the rails in the first place.

      Libertarians are like house cats. Completely dependent on a system they neither understand nor appreciate and fiercely confident of their own independence.

        In fairness, if you let the average cat out into nature it would be fine. Dump the average libertarian into nature and they wont last the night.

      I’ve never heard any libertarian say the free market would provide trains. Maybe an ancap would go so far…
