That's the way it should be....states rights you know. It will be a follow the lead type thing once one state opens up the rest will follow. Or their citizens will start to get pissed.
That's the one thing libertarians are wrong about... or why it is always hyphenated with something. There is a whole world between balkanization, federal bureaucracy, and a centralized state. Like if you want to deregulate and leave everything to the states you'll get 50 different responses, unknowable and selectively enforced laws with less accountability the smaller the jurisdiction is. It's not the federal government telling you to tear down your house because your studs aren't 18" apart. You're not supposed to end up in federal court for a whole hell of a lot short of killing people. I'm not selling some opposite of a libertarian extreme, just saying ideological purity is oversimplification. The only reason it is hard to point out, besides the libertarian pipe dream being untested, is that the world is a little more complicated than that. Standardization, utility, the pitfalls of privatization. Being coincidentally right 99% of the time doesn't mean that disliking taxes and liking freedom will account for the other 1%.
