I think the reason you experience libertarians as arrogant and ignorant is because you are too deficient for them to respect or for you to understand anything they say. The coronavirus crisis is an example of government failure at every level: the FDA and CDC prevented private companies from providing test kits; the CDC then sent out botched test kits; Governor Cuomo mandated that New York nursing homes accept coronavrius positive residents, infecting and killing many elderly; public health officials lied about the effectiveness of masks; politicians, particularly Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Bill De Blasio told people to go to large public gathering like Chinese New Year; governments at all levels have been preventing private groups from making hand sanitizers, selling food, feeding the homeless, etc. without permits and licenses, and on and on.
'Atlas Shrugged' - The Libertarians playbook. I was sickened when the Tea Party became entrenched in powerful policy making positions in our Government. We are now paying dearly for that happening.
Great article, Justin.

"This is the least efficient system imaginable short of having each state and city build their own ventilators."
Well, sure. It's inefficient.
IF your goal is to get states and cities the things they need to save lives.
But that's not the libertarian goal.
