3DN:

Well, I never been to heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Oh, they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter?
What does it matter?

Why are Democrats so triggered by Libertarianism? You really think the demand for snow removal wouldn’t be met by the public sector as it already is in so many cases for homeowners and businesses? The fuck is this?

Did you mean the private sector? Where I live, public roads are plowed by the public sector (city, county, state); private roads, driveways, and sideways are plowed / shoveled by the private sector.

I am not sure how it would possibly work if the government snow removal is eliminated.

The photo is a humorous meme that illustrates the fallacy of libertarianism.

People form governments to do things they can't do effectively in a free market: public safety, education, transportation, and healthcare. Snow removal falls under transportation.

I think there are several strains of libertarians.

The most common are liberal people who started making enough money to pay significant taxes, but not enough to that it doesn't hurt.

Closely related are small business owners who are frustrated by taxes and regulations.

Then there are those who resent affirmative action and think civil rights laws violate their rights to be racists. 

Second Amendment advocates ...

Those who are tired of the over bearing excesses of the left, but have not thought through all the implications.

More of a Rockefeller Republican. I supported Nixon in 1968, but voted for McGovern in 1972.

Nixon was considered conservative, but most his policies would be left of center today. I detested the man personally, but he was a capable, albeit crooked president.

are there a lot of public works snow removal jobs?  Last I checked even in chicago they only do the major roads while private companies do just about everything else... and I think the chicago jobs are part of streets & san?  Dunno don't care.

When private companies plow public roads; they are government contracted, tax payer funded. That is a form of privatization, not free markets.

Hmmm. Maybe we are inching closer to notion that we have a government of laws and not of men?

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/01/appeals-court-tosses-trumps-lawsuit-over-mar-a-lago-search-00071743

A federal appeals court has acted to shut down an outside review of the Justice Department’s use of nearly 3,000 documents the FBI seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August.

A panel of the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that a district court judge erred both by granting Trump’s request to block investigators’ access to the records and in her decision to appoint a special master to assess Trump’s claims that some of the documents could be protected by executive privilege or other legal doctrines.
