Weird how HN is very libertarian and supportive of the idea business owners should be able to set rules in their business... until it interferes with them parking for 5 hours with a 3 dollar Americano.
- grzm 9y ago> "Weird how HN is ..." Please just leave generalizations like this out of conversation. HN is more than just the comments that catch your eye or those who choose to comment on a particular submission. You yourself choose to be a part of HN. Would you ascribe these same attributes to yourself? Or those that other commenters mention when they make similar generalizations? There are plenty of comments in the threads for this submission which indicate that there is no consensus around the topic.

Would you ascribe these same attributes to yourself? Yes, but I'd describe myself as left-libertarian (to put it on the political compass), whereas a large part of HN is hanging out in the bottom-right.

- none_to_remain 9y agoThere is no contradiction in this - supporting business' ability to make such rules does not require approving of every specific rule.
