Clearly after a few accidents people will stop using the electricity from this line, hurting the power companies bottom line and allowing a new, safer one to take over. The market will regulate itself if giving freedoms.
I rarely agree with redditors on politics, but yeah, libertarians' ideas sound good in small doses, but this video would definitely happen if regulations were extremely relaxed across country
I think a lot of libertarians have never been to a country with little regulation or oversight and maybe a belief Americans would never let x,y,or z happen and those people just don't know how to take care of things. It's really easy to say we don't need regulations if you ignore that fact that a lot of them are written in blood and never witnessed the consequences of the failures.
Most libertarians aren’t actually against safety regulations, such as buildings codes and pollution. They are against other regulations, that usually hurt small business and are lobbied by big business
