I neglected to provide proper links in OP. Idaho’s views on flood control are in the thread I linked to; Jayarod7’s thread on private Conflict Resolution agencies has disappeared. :eek:  
Following is the post where Farnaby laments “malinvestment” caused by FRB while calling the goodness of mandatory vaccination “irrelevant”:

BTW, I agree with Farnaby that the “casino-ization” of the stock market has little public value, but am surprised he sees it that way. Many libertarians, whether they give a hoot for public value or not, think that “casino-ization” is the best thing since buttered bread!
