Forever chemicals tainting food supply, destroying American farmers

... It's 4 a.m. in Maine, and just like his father and grandfather before him on this land, dairy farmer Fred Stone makes the frigid journey through the snow to milk the cows.
"It was always known as cows first, people second, and that's the way it's always been," Stone told NewsNation's Natasha Zouves. "I wish that snow wasn't cold, and I wish rain wasn't wet, and I wish I still didn't love my cows. But the more people I meet, the more I love my cows."
Stone has chosen each of their names and knows them by heart. In the warm barn, he greets Moon Beam, Blue and Storm Chaser.

Michael Lind asked a question that no Libertarian has answered. The closest was a massive "not fair!" from the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Boil it all down and what it says is Libertarian rule can't happen without perfect humans, and we ain't got those. Of course they hide behind public choice theory to justify their rationalization.
