Be careful, there's some people who actively don't understand what a public good is and are hostile to it very existence, let alone suggesting a government could practically ensure it's viability.
They're also completely blind deaf and dumb to modern society having never had to suffer.
- rolandog 2y agoYeah. I have often wondered how to deal with such vitriolic behavior from a loud — but small — portion of the population. We have entertained their callousness and allowed them to drown out the conversation for far too long. But I digress... We should normalize requiring them to prove their argumentum ad lapidem, otherwise they'll end up depriving us from the very air we breathe.
- lttlrck 2y agoThat's too black and white. Many believe the market is the best vector to deliver public good. It's not a mystery why this perspective exists, and it's not obviously wrong, and it's ridiculous to think that government is the universal cure-all for suffering when they're the source of so much.
