Not if it's managed by a company, in which case it's a means to turn a profit. A common good needs to be managed by the community to which it's providing said good, or by an entity that's legally bound to ensure it remains "good" for the community.
- exe34 5mo agoThe whole rationale to giving companies a charter was to enable things that are good for the community. Just because it would be profitable to kill some people, for example, doesn't mean that companies can just do it (unless they are medical insurance companies in the US).
- skeledrew 5mo agoIt's actually against the law in general to kill someone though. And without some reasonable form of enforcement, the charter thing is just for show.
- exe34 5mo agothis is such a low iq take. my whole point was that there should be a law for X, and now we're at "oh but there's a law for Y".
