The difference is that they think that gatekeeping poor people from services in order to bring costs down for everyone else is valid. I've seen libertarians argue that the solution to tuition and healthcare being expensive is to stop helping poor people, because that will drive demand down and lower prices for people who can already afford it. I've seen libertarians argue that the solution to people scalping groceries is to let grocery stores price gouge. Their solutions only ever involve helping people who don't need help at the expense of people who do. Libertarianism is "me, me, me right now now now" dressed up in fancy language. It's the political philosophy of a tumor.

“We live in a society” - the jonkler

“Not if I can help it” - libertarians

As far as I can tell, the ones with money want a free hand to do whatever they want to others without repercussion, and the ones without money are willfully drinking the Kool Aid and being led around by the nose philosophically.

You ever hear a libertarian complain about flying? Fascinating one-person debate about airlines and deregulation.

North America has never been a free market. Even since the days of Sumer have there been regulations on commerce. We will never have a free market.

I’m sorry but anyone who thinks we’re actually in a free capitalist system is delusional. The freedom is a lie they sell us to perpetuate the system.

Most "libertarians" are this dumb, but the old school ones at least attribute the problems to uneven regulation rigged in favor of the ruling class, which does jive with my understanding of what is wrong with the financial system. That being said, libertarianism wouldn't work even if they did get shit straight.

The market isn't free, there's a ton of restrictions and policies that benefit large corporations while making it very difficult for new companies to make any headway against their competition

The only problem communism has solved so far is obesity.

I kept reading that as librarian

Am I missing something that makes the image 18+?

So central banks are printing money left and right, controlling the market winners, controlling interest rates, short and long ends of the yield curve, inflation, and my testicles, and you call it a "free" market?

Genuine question. Are you stupid genetically or did you learn being stupid from your environment like every teenager around here who don't understand shit in the economy?

What else but regulations prevents the creation of surplus housing? That poverty as a feature post, why are those houses not been built?

It only takes a few people to solve the housing market in a liberal market by organizing the construction. With regulations, it takes a majority to make a change. The same majority who could rise taxes and build affordable housing with tax money right now.

There is land, unemployed people who can do the construction and people with income who seek housing and will pay for it. Who is preventing the construction?
