Editorials are a thing. This is not an editorial. It's structured as a news report.

I'm mostly a libertarian, but claiming "we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes" when you aren't should put you in jail for fraud.

This seems like a low effort opinion piece that is unlikely to generate useful discussion here.

The article seems to be more of a review of the new book than any attempt to actually discuss the topic.

The title of the article cites bad grammar, but the example doesn't have any grammatical problems. It has clear typos and questionable abbreviations but it doesn't have any of the bad grammar signs that grate on me, like comprise vs. compose or over utilization of "utilize" where "use" would do just fine.

You might say that "let's circle back" is annoying business jargon, but it is a very common phrase and aside from the typos correctly applied in this example.

That core idea is simple. But the details, such as credit and debit having the opposite meaning to casual bank account accounting, and the use of a variety of accounts makes things not intuitive.

Reviews by independent experts about the quality of this guy's life? I think he can be considered an authority on that subject.

That's not a philosophical argument at odds with our current understanding of copyright law. That's exactly what this judge found copyright law currently is and it's quoted in the article being discussed.

One could be carried there

This seems a little weird to me, but direct commissions like this are pretty common for professionals like lawyers, clergy, and doctors.

They never claimed to be the party of personal freedom. There's a libertarian contingent within the GOP that wishes they could persuade people to go that direction, but unsuccessfully for decades.

They have claimed to be the party of small government. And even someone who disagrees with them can recognize the "small government" within their idealized view means government that is only involved in the things that government should be involved in. It doesn't necessarily (or in practice ever) mean less spending.
