So who is going to put out the fires, libertarian?
Well, everyone will just regularly pay a little to the person that has a fire truck and they'll put out the fires when needed.

Wellness influencer doesn't know the definition of...raw?
Yeah, that checks out.
Rediscovering well-established shit from first principles and a science-illiterate, history-ignorant stance.
I'm betting the raw milk thing re-entered society via the crystals and essential oils crowd?
The same type of people that said back in the 70s - or maybe even before - that television screens emitted cancer-causing radiation.
In the 90s they were saying that about the magnetic fields in digital alarm clock radios, too. Completely oblivious to the night lamps by the bed, those also conduct electricity. But noooo... it was the tiny LED screen that suddenly made the difference... I guess?
Also completely oblivious to the Earth's titanic magnetic field dwarfing and drowning whatever they had with their little gizmos in their normal-sized bedrooms in the 90s.
If you're betting on that crowd, you're just choosing to overlook the fluoride in the water, gay chem trails, 5G tower and microchips in the COVID vaccine crowd. There is some overlap with the crystal people sure, but much more Alex Jones/QAnon, full on violent basement demon crowd.
IME you are pegging entirely the wrong group of people.
For at least 10 years the only people I've heard making a stink about being able to get raw milk are the same folks complaining about fluoride in drinking water.
That's not so much the crystals and oils crowd as it is the fuck your feelings crowd.
There is significant overlap with those people.

This is basically the entire process Libertarians go through before realizing they're idiots... They have to re-learn all of the things we've already collectively learned as a society, generations ago. But I guess they just can't believe that we need taxes to fund roads and water infrastructure, until they experience it first hand.
Not even just Libertarians, just conservatives in general these days. Look at Elon Musk and how quick he re-learned why Twitter would "censor" shit.
It's like these people think everything we do is just empty tradition, and until they experience it first hand, they will never believe we need a regulation. When the reality is that many of our regulations are written in blood, and it's idiotic and indefensible to want to go back to those times and do it all again. Simply because the richest dude in the world can't be bothered to read a goddamn book.
