Editing to remove my comment; I’m done arguing with narrow-minded libertarians about effective government. It’s like arguing with a carnivore about why they should eat vegetables.
- naasking 3y agoI'm not a libertarian, but do go on with your unjustified assumptions. We've gone through three rounds of you claiming you're right with no principled arguments or evidence, that it must be your way or the highway, and that the government responses were "effective" without considering obvious the most obvious counterexample that I cited.
- boston_clone 3y agoYou think the general public is equipped to quantify risk for a novel viral outbreak, and the government has no responsibility in attempting to keep its people alive. That’s about as libertarian as it gets. You have supplied no evidence that measures taken were ineffective, because every developed country had some plan. I’m the one that supplied multiple citations. How about you go find some to support your assertions, instead of trying to snipe and mince mine?
- naasking 3y ago> You think the general public is equipped to quantify risk for a novel viral outbreak, and the government has no responsibility in attempting to keep its people alive. It's interesting that you experience no cognitive dissonance between what I cited as a good example of what I'm talking about, Sweden, and this strawman of my position.
- boston_clone 3y agoYou actually provided a citation? Or did you just say something with no evidence?
