marketanarchist··on Cuomo signs bill prohibiting Airbnb listings in NYC
No government != No rules.

I doubt the poster above is against rules, but like me wants to decentralize that authority and enforcement. My answer: you want to have a market for law and enforcement. Read "the machinery of freedom" by David Friedman if interested.

Great, another government overreach. Hopefully someone finds a clever solution around it that protects this peaceful and voluntary economic activity.

> We're in the world together and where possessible should share that responsibility.

No, I have no obligation or responsibility to your child. You can ask me for my voluntary help, but that's it.

I generally don't believe in limiting freedoms because people abuse and/or misuse something. There are exceptions of course, but this is clearly not one of them. Should we limit the amount of chocolate sold in stores because obese people lack self-discipline or because parents cannot control their children?

Take responsibility for your family or don't have one at all.

Nah, some of actually want to be free.

You and people like you are free to avoid pornography if you so choose, but don't try to impose your idiocy on everyone else.

If you want to shelter your child from certain sites or content, that is your problem. Take responsibility for your own family, don't ask the entire world to change and give away our freedoms because of your laziness/ineptitude.

Not an argument, try again.
marketanarchist··on U.S. government accuses Russia of hacking campaign to influence elections
Most likely? Based on what?

The more probable reason in my eyes is that criminal Hillary is more likely to engage Russia in conflict.

Well, one could argue that rise of Trump, Bernie, backlash against mainstream media etc are partially due to the surveillance state BS.

In any case, there are still the negative economic consequence which important alone, but also affect politics.

Spot on, that's the idea behind bitcoin as well.

That would backfire economically and politically I think, especially long term. Let them ban it if they are so foolish.
marketanarchist··on Tax authorities in Denmark buy 'Panama Papers' evidence
All states routinely break their own "rules". I don't know why anyone would be surprised by this.
marketanarchist··on How Bad Off Is Oil-Rich Venezuela? It’s Buying U.S. Oil
Even in comparison to their neighbors, they are doing poorly no?

I think the best indicator would be how people are voting with their feet. Are people fleeing from Venezuela to its neighbors or the other way around?
