Seeing fireworks is non-rivalrous, but being somewhere is. So getting a good viewing spot for the fireworks is rivalrous. BTW, the title doesn't make any sense

- chrisseaton 6y ago> Seeing fireworks in non-rivalrous, but being somewhere is ... BTW, the title doesn't make any sense Neither does your comment! What do you mean 'in non-rivalrous, but being somewhere is'?

- smorephism 6y agoBeing in a place can be thought of as a rivalrous good because other people cannot simultaneously be in that place.
- Swenrekcah 6y agoThe article uses the term. If there is a star in the sky and I see it, I don’t consume it so that you can see it too. But if I occupy a spot, I “consume” that so you can’t be there simultaneously. So there is rivalry if we both want to be there.
- chrisseaton 6y agoYes but 'in non-rivalrous' doesn't make any sense.

- whoisburbansky 6y agoIt took coming down to your comment to realize that GP had “in non-rivalrous,” I’d just glossed it over and assumed it said “is”
