Nicely done. I would think that between the usual infiltration of non-leftist activities by the leftists themselves and the usual drudgery of Republicans who seem to have no no clue, the rigid inclination to automatically award Congress to the Republicans this fall is a bit dreamy. Frankly, I am leaning towards anarchy where one is free to think and act as they desire and employ the live and let live ideal. Violence is often attached to anarchists, but that is a false dictum. Usually if people are fighting against their government, it is because they are being forced to do so. Unfortunately, we are at the point where the leftists will stop at nothing to steal elections. And the Repubs are to cowardly to stop them.

Abolish licensing requirements. I know people believe the government establishes licensing to enforce minimum professional standards. This is an illusion. In Roy Childs' immortal words, "Government does not consist of men who have powers of epistemological elitism."

Worse, government agencies are prone to regulatory capture. The FDA and CDC are nothing more than arms of the pharmaceuticals. Who in his right mind takes their word on "safe and effective"?

Yes, a free market in medicine means quacks will have license to hang a shingle and deliver unsafe and ineffective treatment. But the alternative is mandated quackery. That's where we find ourselves today.
