But for me this is epitome of libertarian moronicness.
But of course no government means no official inspection stating that George washes his hands or that he keeps his bacon cold. As I'm asking about food safety, we are interrupted by another customer, who happens to have a handgun strapped to his belt.
"We'll regulate him," he says. "If he poisons me, I won't buy his food. And he'll be done."
...
So I guess if I ever decided to become a serial killer and wanted easy targets, I can just sell poisoned food at this libertarian gathering.
Good to know.
But seriously, this guy with the gun is dumb.
If he gets poisoned, how will he know it's from that particular vendor? And what if the vendor starts up again under a different name?
And if the food kills him, what good will the vendor losing that particular customer do? As simsim pointed out, Mr. Libertarian will still be dead.
And of course this wouldn't even work on a national scale. Most of the meat comes from a round 12 slaughterhouses. It's impossible to not get meat from them and if there was say an E-coli outbreak then we could never be sure where it came from.
That's what bugs me about libertarians. They just don't think about any of this. They have this cartoonish one dimensional view of the world with a stead fast faith of a zealot. They are the economic versions of creationists.
