I believe that in general the economy should be left free

But why? Do you really think it's good for service providers to screw their customers around with things like cancellation fees? Market forced have clearly failed to prevent that particular kind of fuckery.

Correct, assuming some fairly specific definitions of "conservatives" and "anarchy".

Ignoring any specific ideas about morality, conservatives (in the sense of people who resist change) and guaranteed to be on the wrong side of history, because their very nature is to cling to ideas that everyone else has decided are obsolete.

Proof is what the lawsuit is for.

You’d never get claims paid if you had to do it all by hand.

Isn't not paying claims the point?

Seriously. Circular during squad moment.

Because being able to cancel cable TV service without paying a fee is "socialism".

I long for the day when people who think about doing this kind of shit worry about jail time, not just slap on the wrist fines.

If you've previously identified one side as consisting of pathological liars, it's best to ignore whatever they say because the more you hear from them, the more likely you are to accidently believe one of their lies. It takes a lot of vigilance to listen to a bunch of plausibly-true statements without misremembering some of them as being true.

There's an xkcd about precisely that observation.
