    As I spend a third hour in this coffee shop without buying anything (brought a sandwich with me, in fact) and listening to a killer playlist for free, I'm reminded that capitalism's genius is supporting so many free riders, not squeezing efficiency out of us all the time.

        2/ > I'm reminded that capitalism's genius is supporting so many free riders The genius of capitalism is (a) producing more value with less resources, (b) incentivizing private parties to provide goods & services. Supporting freeloaders is a BYPRODUCT...and arguably a bad one

        3/ No, freeloaders are often supported by corporate policy. Starbucks doesn't want to be perceived as policing its customers; doing so creates a nickled-and-dimed sensation (much like amusement parks that collect tickets for each ride).https://twitter.com/Adam_Asmus/status/1113105270996176896 …

        Freeloaders are only supported due to government interference, no? A private business has no incentive or need to allow for freeloaders, except through government force and the inability to selectively allow for patrons.

        4/ Interesting. I just realized that Nick G perfectly encapsulated the immigration / high trust / low trust debate in his own behavior. The cafe does not police outside food because it assumes Americans are polite. Nick abuses that trust. Once most people act like Nick...

        5/ Same. @LibertyFarmNH and I refer to buying coffee every time we're at Barnes & Noble - and a book every fourth time or so - as "the Barnes tax". It's only polite.https://twitter.com/random_scrub/status/1113108121063313409 …

        Yikes. I’m on the other end of the spectrum - I’ll buy candy/water/etc I don’t need to compensate the truck stop for my kids’ bathroom break. I definitely wouldn’t stiff the proprietor for a multi-hour use of a lounge chair!

        It's this realization that's changed me from being a fairly staunch libertarian.

        I think a lot of right-libertarians have moved away from libertarianism because “pop libertarianism” is basically becoming a lobby for open borders advocates.

        Ya know, the libertarian line about roads totally makes sense until the tragedy of the commons shows up. Then it still makes sense if you give the land over to an Earl who runs it and oh hey Monarchy it's nice to see you

        Steelmanning his point - Capitalism generates so much prosperity many people are content to give it away for free (especially when it in turn generates profitable goodwill, as in the case at hand, but also even when it doesn’t).

        Libertarians are an ongoing "worst possible arguments for capitalism" competition.
