So no proof just smilies? #smiliesonlyProof that something that wasnt allowed to happen would have happened?... hmmmm
Tall order, and not really worth the effort.
If you truly believe that in 2014 companies would/could stay in business poisoning consumers and employing 5-8yr old children along side machinery. Then we will just have to agree to disagree.
Not worth the effort.
People who honestly believe companies can operate(and turn a profit) in this day and age by killing their consumers(via lead poisoning in this instance) aren't thinking clearly and are unlikely to be swayed by evidence.
But i'll humor you, Foxconn also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Apple joined the Fair Labor Association in January 2012, after public outrage(here in the US) over the working conditions of adults there...Foxconn has reduced working hours, (though not enough to comply with the Chinese legal limit of 49 hours per week), and continue to make various other improvements to working conditions. No govt. intervention was needed, just a little reputation damage thrown Apples way and viola!
To take this further and insert children dying... how could you believe there would be no repercussions(save govt.)? 
Who even cares? thats not what this thread is about. You win! without govt. wal mart would shoot children who don't work enough, whatever.
No one is suggesting zero regulation anyway so the point is moot.

You say that but you know that soda companies, alcohol, fast food and cigarette companies, make money off low income consumers while killing them. It is easy to take advantage of poor people, and there is really nothing that makes me believe that in a world with less regulation that the disenfranchised would be better off.
Also, what do you make of the killing of people that are not consumers of the product? Social pressure is really not as strong of a force as you are making it out to be. the threat of violence by extremely large governments has a lot to do with the world we live in.
1-
I'm not sure what you are trying to say(probably me just being slow)... the things listed are poisons? The things listed are poor issues/those companies exploit the poor? People who buy those products have been taken advantage of?2-Social pressure is actually stronger than i'm making it out to be. LGBT rights organizations have been proving this for years now.
1. why are blacks providing jobs for their own people?
2. Democrats started the Klan
3. "I'll have those n*ggers voting democrat for the next 200 years" - 36th President of the United States
Black people aren't providing jobs for one another because we don't have enough capital to provide jobs individually and no unity to put our money together. That has nothing to do with supporting libertarians.1. why are blacks providing jobs for their own people?

All political parties are racist toward black people but if you want to go to a new enemy have at it.
They treat you like the WB network. Use black people to get put on then flip the script to and cater to cacs after they are in position.
Honestly, hearing these cac talk in real life is a hard pill to swallow as a black dude.... the min gov shyt is cool... drugs, drug laws.... but thenBlack unemployment was lower before regulation... in fact regulations were implemented to curtail black employment.

The bootstrap shyt is bs , especially when we r starting with the cards stacked against. Libertarian ideas dont erase years of justice and financial disenfranchisement.
Then the crakkers say suspect shyt about civil rights laws etc ..... we follow their idea 100% and we'd end up in the jim crow era again , where it was basically legal to hang us
I'm not a fan of any of the political parties right now. New doesn't mean better especially with so many klan affiliations. To easy to infiltrate with extremists when you're voting base are extreme and cacsYou must be a fan of the 2 party system.
Fair enough.
But protecting the rights of the individual are at the core of libertarianism.
To be completely honest I think time, and only time can heal the racial divide in this nation
and the reliance on govt. to do so ends up doing more harm than good. Systemic white supremacy is IMHO stronger now than it was then, its just less overt.The best thing for minorities to do is focus on building wealth and a strong community... both of which are easier to do in a less regulated economy.
Lower before what regulations?Black unemployment was lower before regulation... in fact regulations were implemented to curtail black employment.
