I am not an economist. Yes, common resources such as water are rivalrous, and thus not public goods, but forgive me for not having the full vocabulary that a student of economics and privileges would. You should be understanding the points

Yeah, you'd preferably want to recharge it before the land subsides. But even if you don't it's best to try to maintain the current levels than let them decrease even more.

Property rights are not rights to a common resource. Some mineral rights can be, but management of mineral rights (including gas) commonly fall under government supervision with any benefits (i.e. money) of use of the rights apportioned app

The Missouri discharges an average of 2,445 cubic meters of water per second (2004). This is 77.1 cubic kilometers per year, but it varies significantly per year, and per time of year. In (2000) 26 cubic kilometers of water was removed from

Western Kansas seems to average in the upper teens to mid 20s of inches of rainfall per typical year (drier years do come as the article notes). If it could be husbanded well you'd think that would be sufficient rainfall to grow these

Something equivalent to manorial lordship. The title itself would be "senior water rights holder". The right granted by this heritable privilege is the right to first service. A first service which may result in an inferior holde

In general I understand and agree with your point. With respect to recharging aquifers, climate change can have an effect in two ways: 1) Some plants are far better at recharging aquifers than others (indeed, some will basically prevent aqu

Euthanasia per se is illegal in all US states, but assisted suicide is legal in a number of US states. https://deathwithdignity.org/states/ I actually am probably one of the one's you are pointing out. In that I d

If you reread my comment more closely you'll see that I'm not. I list a couple of options, only one of which is suicide. I'm willing to tolerate various things that I consider repugnant, even though there is a limit.

The end of the universe is created by pre-life physics. I think it's unknown to humanity at this point whether a sufficiently advanced technology can deal with that.

This is a good point. I guess the only counter argument is that, so far, in general, postponing elective death also leads to a bunch of solutions to other problems over the course of a life, even if the original problem is unsolvable.

I know. That objection was brought up in the first article I read on this issue. Still, depending on the care required, it's pretty bad to imply that someone is better off dead. And 7% of the study subjects recovered completely.
