Ep #8 - Does Liberty Mean The Freedom To Infect Other People? A Critique Of Paul Krugman’s Argument For Federal Government Covid-19 Mandates

In this episode I critique Paul Krugman’s hypocrisy, and inconsistency, with regard to demanding government mandates.

Krugman argues that:

“many things should be matters of individual choice. The government has no business dictating your cultural tastes, your faith or what you decide to do with other consenting adults.”

But Krugman has spent his who career advocating for the government to make it their business what you do with other consenting adults.

He also suggests that any time we do anything that could potentially put any one else at risk the government should get involved. But that’s just absurd. Think of all of the things we do every day that have some risk involved for others. Driving cars, playing sports, etc.
