Uh... it's already economically rational... It's called a "negative externality" and the economic consensus is that the correct way to make a market efficiently operate is by applying a tax on those who generate "negative externalities" (i.e. damage the world around them) that can offset the damage.
This is very basic and undisputed economics, so I'm not sure why you're waiving that phrase around.
- pteredactyl 7y agoA tax would have to be enforced globally to be effective. Are you advocating for an International tax collector? To add to that, you could be the arbiter of “negative externalities” since you have such a good handle on theoretical economics. You could then use your authority to tax and save the world. Just want to say I’m very thankful you are here to share your intelligence via undisputed and very basic facts. I didn’t know reality was so black and white until you showed up. Thank you!
