And Libertarians don't want a government?
Since when?

You don't have to say anything about Libertarianism, call it whatever
you want, or just don't call it all, it's still Libertarianism.
My examples relate to realities people face, not Utopian theories.
ha-ha...which is why there is no Libertarian in office.
Ignoring something = ignorant.

And yet you're doing exactly what I said Libertarians do, they weigh
the rights.
Of course what I didn't mean was to suggest other political parties
don't do the same thing, they do.
It's just that you put a single entity above the masses of individuals
rights to acquire the same goods and services that anyone should have
the right to, and ignore the added costs and time to people to acquire
said goods and services.
It doesn't have to stop at Black Patron, it could be White Patron,
Christian Patron, not-from-my-town Patron, poor Patron, long-hair
Patron, people-who-wear-glasses Patron, etc. etc. etc.
So you're going to send cops to enforce all of those?
You're going to need a mighty big police state to do that.
Curious how such a large police state will happen after Libertarians
gut government?

It's completely relevant to employment though.
