Pretty sure food poisoning happens pretty quickly, like within hours. And building inspectors paid by the government are no more infallible then privately hired ones. Sorry you can't debate w/o resorting to petty snipes.
You keep running to the fringes man. I think your position is far more radical than mine. I'm talking about the price of goods and services, you keep bringing up violent uprisings. I will say this, principles only operate within a range. If you run past the bounds of what we're talking about, you'll always find something.
the private inspectors dont have the threat of law on their side. Food poisoning is the most minor offence when it comes to food. What about a company that decides to cut costs and imports a chemical that is cheaper than an ingredient they use, but they can replicate the same taste with another chemical. So thats 2 new chemicals that arent actually food added to the product. What if it turns out one of those chemicals causes cancer but the signs arent visible until years later...... again, thats something Libertarians dont give a fuck about.
No worries. Petty snipes are part of the fun here. I don't have a problem with regulations related to public safety, my issue is with artificial inflation of assets and the boom and bust cycles they create.
Everyone has power proportional to the value that they provide. If you start a business, you have more negotiating power than the guys who work there. But he's not omnipotent and they're not powerless, they are free to pursue their own interests in the market if they choose to do so.
Interesting discussion really, of course first you'd need to define what the "east" and "west" are and what exactly qualifies as hedonism. All creatures seek pleasure and try to avoid pain. None of my experiences in travel have led me to think that hedonism is any more or less represented in any enclave where folks get together.
