It’s weird that libertarians and Bitcoiners are obsessed with property rights, but hardly ever talk about Wickard v. Filburn.
This Supreme Court case determined that growing/manufacturing something for your own personal use affects interstate commerce, because the thing you made *might* inflate the supply of sellable goods. You don’t buy from the market, therefore you affect the market, and the federal government can regulate it.
Wickard v. Filburn is used for everything from OSHA to the Controlled Substance Act.
"Substance"… what the fuck is a substance? Everything is a substance, so the government has given themselves the authority "control everything".
