If there's one constant in "libertarian" philosophy, it's that they always inevitably end up reinventing the policies/laws/processes/regulations they tried to ignore in the first place.

Libertarians think they're smarter than everyone else and never wonder why the fence is there in the first place.
TIL!
The story of that random city/town is pretty great. Free State Project, I think it was.
I love how little this has to do with a "libertarian" philosophy. It's cute how you insist on making the dumb choices of some private car company equate to political ideologies lol
