Why is that unquestionable? Children are a big economic drain on society. We’d be better off with youngsters unable to afford private school picking up garbage and performing other tasks less suited to older people. Imagine how much cheaper Uber would be if you could just give some 11 year old $0.50 to pick up your Starbucks and run it back to you! Plus, we’d all be relieved of the burden of educating these kids — it would save me like $8k/year in taxes.

Consumer protection is similar. I don’t need the government to tell me that my Honda airbag may explode in my face, as an independent agent, I have the ability to go to arbitration with my concerns without some bureaucrats getting in the middle. If I choose, I can ignore the problem — that’s what freedom is all about!
