- Gravityloss 9y agoYeah, who needs things like taxes, police, public roads or courts?
- wtf_is_up 9y agoPoorly constructed strawman
- nine_k 9y agoLeave a town without police, stop fixing public roads or just stop collecting garbage. Very soon the people will demand to have police back (or roll their own temporarily), will demand roads fixed, and garbage taken out — or look for a garbage truck company to pay to. The effects of this are very quick and visible. Unlike that, climate change, or e.g. effects of using lead paint and asbestos in building practice, is a slow, hard-to-notice thing. "Too late" happens decades later that the time of a preventive action; very few people have a planning horizon as distant.
