Agreed, but I don't think that negates my point: taken to an extreme, libertarianism is extremely inefficient with respect to morals. Instead of making clear choices once (or once per election), I am now tasked with making an ethical choice with every purchasing decision.
One may argue whether or not it is ever possible to avoid at least some component of ethics in purchase decision making as every company must make many decisions on how to source labor and materials. One may also argue whether or not it is ever possible to completely avoid paying for a social safety net (or lack thereof) as crime increases when poverty is rampant.
I merely wanted to point out that (IMHO) the only reason we're even having to read articles like this is because of a glaring lack of moral authority at the head of the current administration.
