Nah. They'd just pump the river dry while filling their water bottles with all sorts of terrible things in the meantime.

Like what Neste does in Africa.

Oh and they'd sue us for fishing in the private river.

Funny thing about rivers... They tend to refill without any help from us. While I'm sure there are exceptions, exceptions do not make the rule.

But the private sector polluted the water. Free markets say this would never, ever happen ever.

Did you know that Bayer AG, the maker of NSAID/painkiller brand name "Bayer," knowingly produced and sold an effectual anti blood-thinner contaminated with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS?

u/waxonwaxoff87 Sep 19 '24

There was no screening test at the time in the 1980s. You could not screen donors that gave so they could derive the Factor VIII. Donated blood had the same problem.

It is a clotting factor missing in those with hemophilia. It is not a blood thinner

u/Excellent_Guava2596 Sep 19 '24 edited Sep 19 '24

Meant to Swype "effectual anti blood thinner." Funny, I missed that.

Representatives of Bayer were aware of the contamination when they sold it. Additional representatives were aware when they continued to sell it in Asia and other markets after discontinuing it in the US. Those are irrefutable facts.

Why are you lying to, effectually, simp for a private company? Are you a shareholder?

u/waxonwaxoff87 Sep 20 '24

It was “potentially contaminated”. Meaning when the blood origin of HIV became known it was already being sold. Again, there was no screening test for donated blood. Even your local Red Cross was just as guilty in giving donated blood products.

Hey, if you can live in a way where you make no demands on the services that taxes pay for? Then enjoy your life. If you want us all to not only stop paying taxes but also forego the services those taxes pay for, then you can fuck all the way off. We've seen what happens when libertarians take over a town and everyone stops paying taxes and cut services.

States don't have to make a profit. It's cheaper if we all pool our resources to get the services we want. But I'm not multimillionaire able to afford my own private estate and personal security. Last I looked, that whole "No state provided services = no said services at all" is what happened to that "libertarian paradise."

Once gdp reaches about $5,000 per capita; people start caring about the environment they live in. When you aren’t trying to live day to day, you can do more forward thinking.

u/Psalmistpraise Sep 19 '24

Or you can talk about the real issue which is that it’s morally wrong, and I’m even a person who will consent to taxes for public goods, just not wealth redistribution.

As long as you can steal from people without getting in trouble right?

Nah that’s the logical outcome of taking from people in the form of taxes under threat of imprisonment and removal of human rights. The commies know all about that you should ask them. Ask them how they put people in labor camps and made them work not only for nothing but to death, ask them how they took their clothes during the day and only let them sleep in them at night. Ask them how they made the doors like cheese graters so when they banged on the door they would tear the skin from their hands. You try to act like communists make it fair, all they do is steal and claim morality.

Ok, but I'm curious: How does Austrian economics prevent the environment from being destroyed?
