Libertarian Hearts Collapsing Buildings and Diarrhea

[@mindflayer8011]

Libertarians themselves prove that we absolutely DO NOT need to cut the Department of Education. In fact, it needs much, much, more funding.

[@matthewheywood8532]

Isn’t it amazing by just opening their mouths they prove this

[@Darkersneasel]

I dunno man...I think the fact that it might prove that the education system is in fact a failure and that maybe they're right and it needs to go away. /s

@Colby not fair for kids that want to learn though. The bad kids ruin it for the ones that have hope. There is no reason for Detroit public schools to exist. There are more drug dealers in Detroit schools than students.

[@vinceanthony7046]

Every Libertarian disagrees with every other libertarian.

[@miguelzavaleta1911]

That's something I've noticed before. There seems to be no general consensus about any concrete concept whatsoever. Some 'Libertarians' are okay with building codes (like this guy for example), while others don't even want to see the word government. It really just seems to be a catch-all term for anyone further to the economic right of the typical Republican establishment.

they are really describing feudalism, they just never think thru the idea of what a society looks like when might makes right. it's kinda sad when libertarians start describing their vision because it's obvious they only think half way thru the idea.

[@jewsco]

Because in reality they just don’t want to pay taxes

I've yet to meet a single Libertarian who wasn't born into a rich or upper middle class family and never had to worry about anything significant in their lives.

[@trajan74]

I've heard a more cogent rebuttal to the building code argument and it's like this: "Well, in a free market a contractor whose buildings fall down will eventually stop getting customers and go out of business." Here's why that's BS: Because the events that take a building down (fire, bombing, or natural disaster) are so rare that by the time it falls down the contractor already has 50 more projects done and is swimming in money. He's gonna let the next ceo worry about the firm.

I don't know how it's possible for this guy not to realize just how much of a trial it is to deal with building regulations, City and subdivision codes, homeowner's associations etc when designing even simply a single-family home. Not to mention the materials and methods used in building that have to conform to an insane number of manufacturing standards.

[@timothym7472]

Perfectly summed up in his last words.."well, maybe that's just what sets us apart". It really makes no difference that it's horseshit, they just want to look different.

[@bigmedge]

When people are forced to contribute a small % of their earnings that is pitching in, not theft. Theft is when people refuse to pitch in & dementedly compare taxes to violence (very low taxes too compared to any developed country) as an excuse, while at the same time using the social services that those taxes pay for. That's called simultaneously being a thief, moocher, & hypocrite

[@chairmanofrussia]

Mumbai has tons of unregulated buildings. Some of them collapse WITHOUT earthquakes, let alone with one. Especially when it rains, the concrete basically absorbs the water, essentially the building becomes like a soggy mush and the building falls. Over 2,000 people in india died from building collapses in 2012 alone. Alexandria in Egypt is another city with terrible building codes. There’s some footage online somewhere of FOUR towers right side-by-side leaning in different directions. Support columns are not consistent and vary floor by floor in position, materials and size. The salty sea air actually erodes the foundations of the buildings and causes them to collapse. Sometimes 10-story towers collapse. They have videos of this stuff online. Sometimes you can even see raw footage of the events. There’s a video of these villas in India, being built and the visitors to the construction site were able to push the brick walls into falling. Not even the rich are safe in a country without building codes. They are an absolute must.

[@Toywins]

Your absolutely right, the problem is the caller doesn't care about ANY of that.

[@chairmanofrussia]

@@Toywins True, true. His type have never been one to care about facts.

+Matt Meistrell - the caller is an uninformed Anarchist, not a constitutionalist libertarian. Many of us have (or had) a little Anarchist in us when we were kids. When this kid grows up he might make a good libertarian, but for now he's just a confused kid with anarchist ideas- probably not as a result of critical thinking. He's probably following someone who is putting these ideas in his head

[@miguelzavaleta1911]

[@Cenyon]

I wonder if he thinks most people would like to live in a Mad Max style world. Absolutely delusional lmao

[@xTheOxx]

@chronDiggity "free market eliminates these people" No it doesn't. On the contrary, it guarantees that these people continue to do business. When people are allowed to build without a code - and charge less for it - there will always be people willing to take the risk and pay less. So people die in the name of the free market because they had to choose between basic necessities and living in a safe building. The free market will never eliminate greed.

[@Assassin-mn6vi]

libertarians wanting to cut the department of education makes sense ofc they would want to spread their ideology.

Ultimately, there are going to be contradicting claims of freedom. These people will always side with the rich and powerful when they conflict, which is how you end up with people like Ron Paul slamming unions as "harming freedom" when they try to better the lives of their workers, but having no problems with business entering into agreements to maximize their profits.

@chronDiggity The comparison between building codes and medical malpractice is a bit of a leap. What if a dangerous, currently illegal medical treatment was offered to patients as a riskier, cheaper alternative to costly treatments? Can the doctor realistically be sued then? In your scenario, who funds the private consumer groups? How are their recommendations made known?

[@Tounushi]

"I like it when government provides me with safety and security, but I hate them because I have to pay taxes" The basic description of any libertarian's way of thinking. No matter in what degree it exists, the state is always there. It can span anything from an acre to a continent. And the state always has a government. Otherwise it's simply a region of multiple states and their respective governments.

[@rschloch]

What he doesn’t understand about earthquake design, is that it costs the building owner / developer / investor money. If it isn’t mandated, the owner will possibly remove any provisions from the design. Yes, architects and engineers can probably design it, but if there are also no mandates, there are probably no requirements / building codes to push the development of seismic design standards forward. One engineer might think theory A works best, another theory B. Maybe some engineering’s seen a mix of both systems, but makes critical oversights in mixing them….

@erikelrojo99 there is a difference between being "excited", & admiring what someone is "trying to do", & the REALITY that occurs when they fail to do it.

Mandating certain properties for products (with a certain margin) usually creates a niche where other interests (or even publicly owned industry) can put effort in and receive profit from. E.g. with fire alarms the state can demand how many need to be in a certain sized space, where to place them, volume emitted, etc. But these did not become universally required before they became cheap to make. There's plenty of consumer choice and state agencies review them at a regular pace.

If they'd have been so selfish to say "Why should I help stinky Massachusetts?" we'd be having tea and crumpets, and we'd all live the miserable life of a Brit. I'm kidding. Brits are wonderful people. The point is that the colonies came together in order to form a more perfect UNION. Because they knew that together they could accomplish far more than they could separate.

@cciemail New Orleans had a lot of building codes. San Fran had a lot of building codes in 89. No building codes doesn't mean no liability. Mexico is a lot richer than Haiti.

[@beekan8787]

IN a free market, Banks wouldn't finance the building of a house without inspections done by a third party who ensured universal safety codes, they also wouldn't finance it without insurance providers covering the builder, the insurance provider wouldn't cover the builder if he had a history of skirting safety standards. No one would hire an uninsured builder. It isn't hard to imagine this stuff without the government. Also, Some of the oldest structures on earth were built long before universal building codes were implemented, so there is also that. Sam is kind of a simpleton.

[@ShatterNWO]

@StunnedByStupidity I never said companies didn't ever fire those that unionize. Walmart is a huge beneficiary of eminent domain laws and NAFTA, which is not free trade like all the neo-cons sold it as, it's heavily managed trade with gov't boards regulating. Taxes and Regulations are a big part of the reason businesses move go to labor overseas. But do you think you don't have the right not to get fired?
