Speaking of illusion of choice; I previously worked for AT&T and was privy to the fact that they actively work with other internet service providers to negotiate non-compete regions so they can all charge exorbitant prices for sub par services. This primarily happens in suburb and exurb communities. Why I don't believe that regulation is a net positive, to say that there are not specific situations where it has it's merits is equally mistaken. Still though, if having to chose between over-regulation and ancap, i'd take ancap any day. I'm tired of being told what I can and cannot do with the product of my own labor. I am not a slave.
