It's just an observation I've made. People will have to agree or disagree based on their own judgement.
I acknowledge that I am not providing any evidence for this. It wouldn't be worth the effort to me of deconstructing his post sentence by sentence.
Enough.
Save your unsupported observations and your fucking breath.
Your contributions and the contributions of other libertarians in this thread amount to little more than endlessly bleating that (in the opinion of the greedy), greed couldn't possibly have led to financial calamities, and that impediments to greed like democratically elected governments and legislated, popular laws are to blame for financial calamities....the disasters that history has shown repeatedly arise only when those same laws are weakened.

I think this kind of statement speaks for itself.

I'm not a libertarian. I think libertarians are terribly mistaken.

That's right. When "deregulation" actually means something like "let's allow private ownership and operation of a coropration that has a government-granted regulatory monopoly," it is a total disaster. You have to get rid of coersion from the market completely for it to function as a market. So I agree with you---a mixed economy is complete and utter crap.
