@Hyolobrika@berserker.town @freemo @mike805 so it is consistent with libertarianism that public funds should not be used to study the leading cause of death for children in the USA? Only if one takes the view that libertarianism means that there should not be any public funds at all. That is, the most radical libertarian stance. I would believe it if I saw libertarians claim that there should be no public funds to study children cancer (which rarely kills children) and such. Not even rand Paul pushes for that.
