    Anarchy sounds good to me then someone asks “Who’d fix the sewers?”

    edit: This is lyrics from The Dead Kennedy’s “Where Do You Draw the Line?”

      Anarchist response would be “people who want functioning sewers, which should be everybody.”

      Yeah it’s a dirty job. So is wiping your ass. Does someone need to threaten you to wipe your ass? Take a shower? When your toilet breaks at home do you shrug and just shit on the bathroom floor?

      No, you fix the toilet. Same with the sewers.

      Probably the people who own the sewers.

      Let me rephrase the question, who will fix the potholes?

        Make the libertarians do it! /s

        Idk, ive fixed a pothole or two that bothered me near home, but yeah, I’m not doing a whole city lol

        I think though that once people realize the onus is on them to fix things, people will start to fix things. Provided of course, that they have the means and ability to do so.

        And then, there are still companies which can be hired to do these things, provided someone is willing to pay them
