I'm sometimes surprised at the number of people who feel the need to block me.
It's like.... If you feel the need to block some middle of the road Canadian maybe public discourse isn't for you. Maybe you should go journal instead.
(But hey, my blocklist is still empty)

I mean, it's a giant Pink billboard so maybe for the sort of people that a giant Pink billboard is meant to appeal to it is. Along with the entire Middle East...
Ngl, if it was over 9000 degrees in the afternoon and air conditioning won't be invented for another 500 years I'd siesta like a motherfucker.
I mean, the US federal government was supposed to be the most strictly limited government on earth and look at it now. I think it proves you right. Hence why libertarianism can only be a platonic form of itself, it is immediately going to be sullied upon contact with the outside world.
I'd assume it would be a blanket thing. I dunno, wouldn't sign an NDA, and my hearing is still good enough I couldn't work with crowder.
In a libertarian utopia, I'd expect debt would be greatly minimized because special companies wouldn't be given the magical ability to create the common currency our of thin air OR there would be a variety of competing currencies and if companies magically created their own currency out of thin air it'd end up not used as much as one that better holds its value.
Not just central banks can print money -- normal banks magic money into existence through virtually unbacked debt and while fractional reserve banking may exist it would be a much higher risk endeavor subject to routine bank runs because people could and would demand their money back and the fraud that is the bank could not return it.
It's entirely possible and probable that people using a currency without magagovernments backing them would demand something backed by something of value or otherwise protected by devaluation caused by magical money printing.
Banking and debt is so deeply entrenched with the state at this point, I don't think we can correctly conceive of just how different things would look without it all. I doubt credit cards would even be a thing.
In the current system, a credit card represents money that was spent and magically spawned into existence so if you have $50,000 in credit card debt that's a you problem unless and until you go bankrupt. If they had to back it up if someone came looking for that money, they wouldn't possibly want to so cavalierly lend random amounts to random people for random purposes.
