Lots of Anarcho-Kapitalists drunk on Ayn Rand Kool Aid. Travis is a criminal who has marketed his breaking of labor laws, civil laws as "disruption". Maybe this is what will happen you get billions of investment dollars without earning through old fashioned way of making profits. Financialism has blinded America.

No, we've simply failed at educating people in what is right and wrong.

The laws in question are tyrannical infringements of personal liberty. You don't have a right to prohibit people from trading a service for money.

  So based on your comment the following are "tyrannical infringements of personal liberty": * laws against child labor * laws against prostitution * minimum wage laws * background check laws As these all prohibit some subset of people from trading a service for money. My question is: would repealing any of these laws actually affect you or your job? I'm guessing not.

    Are children capable of providing informed consent for the purposes of the law? That's questionable, so it's questionable if all child labour prohibitions infringe upon individual liberty. But laws against prostitution and low wage work (aka minimum wage) are absolutely infringements of personal liberty, even if they directly affect only a tiny subset of the population.
