It does sell the product. It just restricted the rights of capable adults to purchase the product for no good reason.

Any time you work out your notice you are giving your employer time to reschedule shifts and hire your replacement, you're making the experience as stress free for them as possible. If you walk out you leave them with a problem, they need to make special arrangements.
Anyone in management may be annoyed about your reason for leaving to make a political point, they may decide to forcibly stamp their point over yours by using that 2 weeks to make false accusations or stitch you up. You might think that all your colleagues are good guys but are you so sure about their political positions? There's no quicker way of making enemies than taking a firm political stance. If I was going to work my last 2 weeks I'd do it wearing a camera for my own safety, although to be honest I'd rather pull my own teeth out than risk going back on the premises after handing in my notice.

All those under 21 working as servers in the restaurant industry are able to serve alcohol to their customers without acting like whiny little bitches.

Yes, prohibition and its repeal where Constitutional Amendments. Therefore, alcohol is a right.

We'll need to add an amendment to the constitution declaring it so!

Prohibition and its repeal were amendments (just like the 2nd AMENDEMEMT) slick, so yes it is a right in the Constitution to drink alcohol.

I'm sick and tired of the terms 'liberal' and 'conservative'. Can't you just see they are used to divide us? 'Liberal' mostly stands for freedom but now a days is used against freedom. The term 'liberal' gun laws is a paradox. Liberal really means hardly too no government regulation, but these days people are getting it confused with authoritarianism. I avoid these terms because I have come to realize they change every decade. Back in the day the 'conservatives' where the ones trying to censor speech and expression, the whole thing has flipped upside down.

Own the word, change the meaning, control the narrative.
Right out of the Orwellian how-to guide-book.

And here I thought I was going to go an entire day here without some pedantic cunt lecturing me on 'muh classical liberalism'.

That seems unwarranted. Words matter, and liberal is not the appropriate word to describe people who hate liberty.

We are naturally divided by things such as the desires to extinguish self-defense and the desire to defend ourselves. What these terms do is divide politics in a different way and provide a linguistic handle on the divide to control it.
Labels aren't the problem, but using over-worn labels which are just weapons for the enemy may be a big problem. It's useful to reason about our own ideas in abstractions.

This confused me for the longest time. Then I realized that Liberals and Libertarians were two different terms. Now I know that only the latter is actually for freedom. The former is more like liberal application of control and government over people.

If you go outside of the US, liberal still means what it used to. In Europe 'liberal' parties are generally the right wing ones.
