Deregulating the Texas power grid has caused power outages and people to die.
I consider myself a left leaning libertarian. I absolutely believe it would be best to simply legalize everything and end the drug war. I think the Fed is extremely wasteful, and we shouldn't be involved in wars across the globe. I agree with the libertarian position 90% of the time. I cannot agree with the libertarians who scream "taxation is theft" who want zero taxes, zero regulation and a 100% free market. If they had it their way we'd lose our forests, we'd have to buy all of our water from the store as natural sources would be polluted and people would die. As far as I am concerned deregulating industries which could cost lives is a violation of the nonaggression pact, it's a greedy, reprehensible act that and those who champion it should be vilified. If you are an anarcho-capitalist, a free market libertarian you are wrong, and we will never be more than a joke with you representing us.
