RE: Trump tells Session’s to end Mueller probe immediately.
ok Owl. Who would give these incentives? The free market means you go out and harvest as many fish as you can catch. There is no other incentive. Just admit you are wrong. History shows that you are wrong. Free markets do not work with common interests. They don’t. This is where you get frustrating. You are so tied to your dogma you can’t step outside and look at the reality of it.

It's a social science term. Whenever I come onto this site and with the Ayn Rand worshippers of the free market I often want to share these types of stories.
Here's a google definition: The tragedy of the commons is a term used in social science to describe a situation in a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting or spoiling that resource through their collective action.
We have resources for the common good. Believe it or not. Unions raise the tide. Unions lift wages for all boats. It's easy to scape goat unions on bad workers. That's not a Union's fault. That's managements fault. We just ask that you give that worker due process. There is not a thing a union can do if management has their ducks in a row and want to get rid of a teacher. At least not in Ohio.
I have never seen someone try to use the Tragedy of the Commons as an argument against the free market until today. It sounds like I've beat you over the head with Tragedy of the Commons frequently enough it has seeped in. Now if only I could get you to understand that the best solution we've been able to come up with to the Tragedy of the Commons is private property ownership and rights. And that doesn't mean you have to put a nickel into Johnson&Johnson-GeneralElectric Park Swing. Bryant Park in NYC is privately owned, incredibly nice, and cost *literally* a fraction of what NYC public parks do. And by the way Bryant Park is way more popular than public parks.

JFC. Mach you don't know two ***** about property rights. Or the history of private management of resources. Let me catch you up:
RE: Trump tells Session’s to end Mueller probe immediately.
Here ya go Mach ... here's that ultra-right wing Trump outpost known as .... The Atlantic .... discussing fisheries and how they need private property rights: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/arc...on/257604/
RE: [split] Fisheries, Conservation, and Private Property
Here you go Mach, the Seattle Journal of Environmental Law, which took a skeptic inquiry only to find that just Individually Transferrable Quotas (ITQs) go a LONG way to creating sustainable fisheries even though it's well short of private property rights as we typically understand it: https://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/...ntext=sjel

Watching that kind of stuff makes me physically ill.
One reason I have so much disdain for the big government progressive. Just like your park commissioner in the video they have an answer for every pile of manure they manufacture. Wonder what he gets paid by the tax payers and how much of that $2,000,000 bathroom wound up in his back pocket.
