        As a libertarian, that’s just not true. Elon Musk isn’t a libertarian either, he’s just an opportunist.

        The libertarian solution to things like regulations is court precedent. Setting that precedent should be the job of the attorney general and a jury, and the legislature should only make broad laws.

        This hopefully cuts down on government corruption since it’s theoretically harder to buy off a jury than legislators.

        Libertarians are just people too dumb to understand code requirements in every industry and profession.

        The only thing libertarians understand is that they can make more money if they charge a full price for a half-ass job.

          “too dumb to understand code requirements in every industry and profession.”

          Or selfish. Unfortunately Hanlon’s razor can only cut so deep.

          That one pisses me off so much. We could have had a high speed rail with actual throughput instead of claims of something better before nothing

          And of course their constant insistence on inventing vehicles that already exist but labelling them as a different vehicle, with the capabilities of the already existing vehicle, and somehow insisting that it is a revolutionary idea.

          Hey guys look at my cool idea for a train that doesn’t need rails.
