Maybe you should check the environment of former socialist republics (e.g. Soviet Union), since you somehow believe that collectivist systems take better care of the commons.
- inimino 10y agoDid I say that? No. Maybe you should check your cold war mindset whereby pointing out a limitation of the free market necessarily gets a response about the USSR. As though that were literally the only possible alternative. To recap: ori_b: How to disincentivize fossil fuel use? [a current policy goal] briandear: The free market! All we need is magical energy tech that doesn't exist yet and makes oil obsolete overnight, haha. me: The free market actually doesn't solve the externality problem. you: The USSR wasn't perfect either!
