So you think that green cards should be available to everyone for instance

The border is currently tightly controlled and the flow of labor tightly regulated

You think there should be much more open borders?

Not necessarily

that's a separate issue

It is not.

We’re talking about the state intervention into a core input to the economy and production

What does limited government intervention have to do with borders

Because if you believe in limiting government intervention, you believe in relaxing bored controls

no

Because border controls are government intervention on the flow of labor

I'm feeling kinda high atm

That’s fine, but you’re not a libertarian

O

You’re just a normal conservative

I am a normal conservative

altho

I do like some aspects of a dictatorship

"Some libertarians assert that "[e]fforts by the government to manage the labor market are as apt to fail as similar efforts to protect domestic industries or orchestrate industrial policy. [...] If an immigrant seeks to engage in peaceful, voluntary transactions that do not threaten the freedom or security of the native-born, the government should not interfere"."

How old are you @Otto

Do you like reading about economics?

I've done a 2000 word essay on the Collapse of the USSR

I think you should, if you’re going to talk about being a libertarian

I am too dumb for essay tingz😩

The problem with the idea of libertarianism is really that the world is more complicated than that

true

ik

The free market principles need some government intervention to stay free

GG @Platinum Spark, you just advanced to level 2!

Like busting monopolies, or assigning externalities
