Pointing out that something bad happened in 1971 with matching data sets is not inherently libertarian, the information is in itself not libertarian slanted. Even if the presenters interpretation is wrong, it doesn’t mean the data is invalid.

You could say the same thing about a lot of Fox News articles. The data in the article is valid, but the way they interpret it is absolutely not. So maybe don't use them as a source.

I really shouldn’t have to explain to you why a data set without context beyond “wtf happened in 1971” and a Hayak quote is different than a fox news opinion piece, I want to believe that you’re smart enough to figure that out on your own champ.
