I believe one can enforce export restrictions and whatnot. It’s not an unsolvable problem though loopholes will be found and thus changes will need to be made

I believe one can enforce export restrictions and whatnot. It’s not an unsolvable problem though loopholes will be found and thus changes will need to be made so on and so forth.

You can have export restrictions in law, it's entirely different to enforce them. We can look at things like the drug trade to see how well that works.

  I see your point. Since we can’t have 100% accuracy on enforcement we should not enact this. Indeed, no law should ever be enacted until 100% enforcement can be obtained. Thank you for this insight. I’m now an anarchist libertarian. Ban all laws!

    No need for the anarchism collateral attack in response to someone advocating for state backed freedoms for capital

      It’s been made clear that all laws are useless unless they have 100% compliance. Hence the need the for anarchism. But while we wait for anarchism thankfully there are people like you out there vigilantly seeking to safeguard the freedoms for capital. Someday we will live in a society where we properly look after the billionaires. They have been oppressed for too long.

        Please have a legitimate response. Strawmanning is not cool.

      We've asked you before to stop using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. You've not only continued to do it, you're doing it exclusively. That's well over the line at which we ban accounts, so if you don't stop, we're going to have to ban you. When people who actually agree with you start emailing us complaints about how your account is abusing HN, that's quite the data point. And no, it has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with you; the same applies to any HN user and any political passion. It just has to do with wanting to preserve this place for its intended purpose, which I assume you're well aware of, as you've been on the site for well over a decade and used to post quite differently. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
