In a perfect world libertarians wouldn't exist, empathy would be far higher in all humans, and we wouldn't have any of these problems like homelessness or starvation. But we don't live in a perfect world. We live in hell.

without libertarians, who's gonna advocate for lowering the age of consent? who will maintain spreadsheets of states and their ages of consent with details about their Romeo & Juliet laws? who will think of the children, so to speak?

You mean you don't carry Romeo and Juliet laws around on a card? That's a perfectly normal thing to do!

Wait... Aren't conservatives saying "won't anyone think of the children?!?" I mean they are the ones who got roe v Wade oveturned

I hope he would die from autoerotic asphyxiation and someone snaps a photo of him hanging there and posts it on the net for everyone to make fun of.

I hope it involves his self driving cars like the Segway guy.

He's going to spend $45M/mo on Twitter ads for Donald Trump. What could be a better investment than that?
