Yeah banning stuff is silly. I should be able to drive and practice medicine without a license, sell toxic baby formula, build houses with asbestos. The magic market will provide a solution for anyone who wants different. #Murica

PS we should ban the Wikipedia article on market failures though, can't have people reading that.

Banning by a monopoly dude. Maybe I trust a Canadian organization to regulate baby formulas better, a german one for diapers and no regulation for my hairdresser.

Yeah duh because those countries don't subscribe to brain dead free market absolutism.

A Canadian organization, not the Canadian monopoly.
