    I don’t get why anyone from any company would say no. Do libertarians even believe what they say? wouldn’t libertarians run companies be happy to take govt subsidies if it was offer to them?

      American Libertarians (in case you aren’t familiar or for anyone else with the sentiment) tend to be very conservative compared to lowercase libertarianism as a whole, and especially compared to European libertarianism. Much more focused on classical liberalism, but also more likely to lean towards selfish solutions than community solutions.

      Idk if you’ve had the pleasure of /r/libertarian on reddit, but that place was always conservative as hell with little room for anyone of the libertarian-socialist persuasion to have an opinion or any desire to come up with group-based solutions.
