It's not the governments job to care about that.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoIt very much is the government's job to deal with tragedy of the commons situations. It's arguably it's only job, outside of contract enforcement and national defense.

- salamanderss 3y agoYep you've found the debate point between minarchism and anarchism.
- Gigachad 3y agoIt’s the governments job to do literally whatever the voters want it to do. Turns out the majority of voters are not all that interested in defending the piles of unproductive wealth.
- jmatthews 3y agoAt risk of Godwin's law, Hitler was elected right? Or Ben Franklin, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch" Mob rule doesn't imply ethical or moral.
- salamanderss 3y agoSurprising since the lower wealth masses depend much more on unproductive wealth as their store of value (such as cash) vs the extremely wealthy that depend more on near monopoly of productive capital. Maybe it's the minority who have tricked the majority to vote for their bidding.
