I’ve done all of those things. I have bought raw milk and drank it. I’m a farmboy and we do all kinds of things that would make the government keel over if they knew about them all. I’ve operated a business without a license and done quite well for myself. Kept myself busy and paid all my bills.

I’ve rented numerous places from friends and family and other folks without ever getting the goobment involved. That to me is real freedom.

As a business owner and operator, I don’t have to solicit or accept any business that I do not want. There are plenty of folks that I will not work with for the simple reason that they have been poor patrons. I’m allowed to make those eminently business decisions, because that is what it takes to keep operating.

I am a farm-boy also. I never sold or bought raw milk - but our Jersey cow produced several gallons a day.

Yes, Virginia, there IS an illegal economy. But under the Constitution the State does have a role in regulating and even banning private transactions.

Do you think it would be nobodies business if you rented to a 16 year old runaway? To a 16 member family for a one bedroom apartment? Rented an unsafe building to a women with babies?

Or is it only nobodies business if you want to rent to an illegal alien?
