a thing that libertarians got completely wrong is how the free market creates better options and things just improve. it's the opposite. the company that can cut the costs and deliver a worse product at a cheaper price makes more money and kills the competition. it becomes a race to the bottom. i know a lot of people who will constantly whine that all the food sucks, everything they buy is shitty, and every time without fail they are just buying the cheapest product with the most cut corners. how would you know if cars are getting worse if you can't actually buy an expensive top tier car? the things that you can afford are in the cheap and shitty price range. these are things made to look pretty and a good deal for the price. everyone just buys shit and the market gets oversaturated with shit. the good stuff is not only more expensive, it gets even more expensive because no one is fucking buying it. the demand for quality products is so low that the few people who care about quality get milked with 100x price hikes.
