I mean, since the libertarian dream is to go back to the era of Rome when the fire brigade was any of several private companies that would roll up and demand you sell them your burning house for pennies and only then they'd put out the fire,

Only stands to reason cops should operate the same way

It is true, horses are accessories for rich people and cops, and should be abolished.

Some of the poorest people in the world have a culture of extensive horse ownership. Eastern european children/teens have an entire culture based around horse ownership. Inner-city Philadelphians of color own and ride horses at urban stables.

Horses can be for everyone.

The Philly thing is 90% carriage horses for tours around Independence Mall. There are some west Philly and north Philly horses outside of that but it's a pretty extreme minority.

yea horses have always been a luxury, even in poo poo like steppe nomads who held them in high esteem they were still reserved for warriors and poo poo and every 'urban stable' is just a dumb way to keep their fruity little carriage tours in business with the labor of poor kids

my sister's in-laws got a windfall through inheritance and they are hippy boomers so instead of being responsible with the money when they had 5(!) young children they bought a bunch of horses and a horsey ranch for them and then were shocked when the money ran out. Now they are old people with degenerative diseases who rely on the already-strained finances of my sister and her family in order to not die also the horses have long since been sold and that ranch is gone too.

The horses did nothing wrong in this story I feel for them, although they seemed to be well taken care of.

It's actually a thing in a lot of inner city communities, as another poster pointed out upthread. There's a trend of poc communities doing it as a means to reclaim their heritage of horsemanship since the history of it has been so thoroughly whitewashed.

The George Floyd protest in Houston was partially led by a group of black trail riders that do outreach and stuff in Texas, as an example.

Horse cops occasionally patrol my neighbourhood, but they're only for show. "Community engagement", as they like to call it.

And no, the cops do not clean up after them.

You can tell the age of a horse by looking at its teeth, so the implication of "looking a gift horse in the mouth" is that you're being nitpicky in trying to find a fault in a favor or gift.

If someone was trying to give me an old horse, I'd be lovely as well. At best you're giving me a bunch of tough horse meat and the need to dig a giant hole.

I used to do that it, in 2008. One time John McCain came to visit, and secret service locked down everything and blocked all the streets, so nobody made any money, and our office manager was furious, and we explained the secret service were like "gently caress you nobody's moving" And she was like "my husband's a cop, I wouldve called him and he would've done something"

I go mountain biking a lot and horses get really freaked out by people on bikes. So any time we encounter horse riders on the trail we have to stop, get off our bikes, take off our helmets, and start talking so the horses don't throw their rider and kick us in the head. If you do everything exactly right they'll jut leave a gigantic pile of poo poo in the trail for you.

So I can see why people might not be a fan of horses.

I also go mountain biking a lot and i get stopping, but the rest of it seems a tad excessive. have you had some pretty bad experiences when you didnt do that or something?

Edit: fwiw horses do my head in too, they chew up bridlepaths way more than bikes/walkers ever do. And yes theyre huge and skittish and thick as mince.
