Economics: Muh Roadz

[Speaker to Animals]

Indeed, right now if you abolished the "state", you'd just have a congress of corporations meeting to govern the nation. They would raise their own security forces to act as a military. They would decide who and who does not get to use the privately owned infrastructure, especially for commerce. And you'd have a new state.

Even in the criminal world, where everybody is essentially waging a kind of war against the state through crime, you will see criminals organizing into gangs, gangs into cartels and syndicates, and those become a kind of alternative state within our borders.

You can't escape this. This is one of the big reasons why libertarianism is such a huge joke.

[DBTrek]

Why ... it’s almost like hierarchy is government.

[Fife]

Hail King Flounder's Krew!

Does he let you all wear beads?

[DBTrek]

Fife, please.
You’re out of your element.

Yeah, I cannot wait to pay five dollars in private tolls to get to Wallyworld.

We already pay it Mass for specific roads, it wouldn't be a change in many cases if anything it would be a relief.

It costs me $7.40 one-way if I want to go into Boston on the Mass Pike...

For an 18-wheeler it's $15.75 one-way.

Good one; I understand that you get a special citation at Flounder Academy for misplaced TBL references.

IIRC, it's the That's Just Like, Your Opinion, Man Oak Cluster. Keep your chin up, you'll get there.

Libertarianism is basically like Jazzercise. It's out, but you still see some old die-hards holding the line.

We’ll all get there, on roads provided by government.
As it pains you to the depths of your soul to admit.

Keep rocking it Jazz-Hands. Old Die-Hard 0.2 might let you in the pool over at Flounder Academy one of these days.
