I thought the Libertarian claim was that lawsuits would fix everything. Because after your house burns down and kills you due to no electrical codes being enforced, your family can sue the electrician (who might also be dead due to unrelated reasons) and convince a jury that they didn’t follow undefined best practices and be awarded millions of dollars that the electrician probably never had and certainly won’t pay and that’s better than having you alive anyway. Hooray for the free market.
