If the locals like it, and they're the ones who are going to be using it and looking at it all the time, then frankly who cares what the "reception online" is?
- inimino 7y agoMcDonald's, among others.
- asveikau 7y agoIrony alert: I suspect if you asked those behind a thing titled "American Conservative" if they liked federalism, they would say yes. But the gist of this article seems to be that they don't like local control of regulation.
- tptacek 7y agoThis is all very off-topic, but if it clarifies: libertarian-conservatives (the kind this publication caters to) prefer local control over centralized control, and also prefer less regulation to more regulation. So a libertarian-conservative would rather Arizona control beautician licensing standards than the federal government, but would also prefer the abolition of beautician licensing altogether. It's a coherent world view.
- asveikau 7y agoI don't see it as very coherent, because if you favor local control you should favor a local community reflecting its own priorities, deciding to regulate more or less. Obviously there are abundant places that decide to regulate less. Throw in a zealous belief in free market principles (which these types tend to claim) and then I would say: a diverse set of regulatory environments should help markets find the best.
- tptacek 7y agoI don’t agree with libertarian conservatives, I’m just relating the perspective.
- PhasmaFelis 7y agoYeah, it's weird, right? His argument seems to be "some dudes on the internet are mocking X, therefore X is objectively bad and a real problem." The problems with that principle should be obvious! If he wanted to talk about overbearing zoning boards hurting their communities, there's probably a good discussion to be had there, but "some McDonald's are kinda weird and that's terrible" is not a good starting point.
