Occasionally Reason gets it right...this is not one of those times.

- programmarchy 4y agoAll you’ve done is offer a contradiction and an ad hom, so why not bring a more substantial argument to the table for discussion.
- avs733 4y agoBecause they have reason (magazine) on their side
- programmarchy 4y agoMaybe I misunderstood but pretty sure they’re saying the Reason article got it wrong. I’d like to hear why, and I’m likely to be sympathetic to an opposing view. For example, I disagree with Reason that we should loosen FDA rules on something as critical as baby formula, but lowering tariffs on imports doesn’t seem like a terrible idea. On the other side, I think tariffs play an important role in protecting domestic industry that are vital to national security. So we don’t want Abbott to get shut down, but they do need to be severely punished.
- CWuestefeld 4y agoIf baby formula is vital to national security, can you name anything that isn't also vital?
- programmarchy 4y agoSure, any luxury good.

- zeruch 4y agoYou have distilled a better framework in two sentences than Reason could have in two issues of features. Well done.

- CWuestefeld 4y agoIf you're going to post just "you're wrong" without any explanation, you shouldn't be surprised that you get downvotes without any explanation.
- zeruch 4y agoYou and I both know that in the lions share of cases of the above, the comment gets passed over without any ado. When its attached to ANYTHING related to Rand, or Cato or Reason, its a fluffer parade of anger. The short answer then is the same problem Reason has always had...it treats any regulation as anathema, and will volley the blame anywhere else reflexively. It is occasionally correct in that regard, but it's total lack of nuance makes it mostly just agit-prop, and for those of us who have read Reason since at least the .com era...the miles per gallon of ink with the same tropes ad nauseum, are....nauseating. Happy now?
- micromacrofoot 4y agoYou ever stop to consider that maybe you’re the problem, and it actually has very little to do with your ideology
- zeruch 4y agoWould you like to borrow a mirror? You clearly appear to want everyone else to and not bother yourself.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoClassic comeback! Sometimes I’m stubborn too though, I get it.
