Why is that a problem?
If there's not sufficient voter support for legislating morals then democracies shouldn't be legislating morals. The voters should get what they want even if it's stupid.
- MereInterest 6y agoI wasn't trying to imply that there was. More that any push toward long-term stability gets a ridiculous amount of pushback on the methods. If it is done through legislation, the free-market libertarians come out in droves to say "No! Let the market decide!" If it is done through market forces, the free-market libertarians come out in droves to say "No! The market should be amoral and profit-oriented! Let legislation decide!" I recognize that these may be entirely separate subsets of free-market libertarians, but it's enough to make me grow frustrated at the entire group.
