What the hell is this?

Did a libertarian "write" this? It's shoddy, badly sourced, ideological and Christ alone knows how it wound up on the front page. DublinDilettante (talk) 03:03, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I came to the talk page for the same reason. This article is a bunch of bullshit, with claims that simply defy belief. Calling it "neutral" despite clear ideological bias is just egregiously wrong. CAVincent (talk) 04:53, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
