You and I both know that in the lions share of cases of the above, the comment gets passed over without any ado. When its attached to ANYTHING related to Rand, or Cato or Reason, its a fluffer parade of anger.
The short answer then is the same problem Reason has always had...it treats any regulation as anathema, and will volley the blame anywhere else reflexively. It is occasionally correct in that regard, but it's total lack of nuance makes it mostly just agit-prop, and for those of us who have read Reason since at least the .com era...the miles per gallon of ink with the same tropes ad nauseum, are....nauseating.
Maybe I misunderstood but pretty sure they’re saying the Reason article got it wrong. I’d like to hear why, and I’m likely to be sympathetic to an opposing view.
For example, I disagree with Reason that we should loosen FDA rules on something as critical as baby formula, but lowering tariffs on imports doesn’t seem like a terrible idea. On the other side, I think tariffs play an important role in protecting domestic industry that are vital to national security. So we don’t want Abbott to get shut down, but they do need to be severely punished.
