    What if one person comes in and takes it all? Don’t even need companies, just individuals.

    That’s the tragedy of the commons.

        That’s the thing though: someone will. That’s what regulations, ownership (collective or individual), and laws are for. That’s why it’s not a simple thing.

      What if the tree only produces 3 fruit, is it wrong for three siblings to pick and eat them?

        Idk, you tell me. I’m suggesting that scarce resources not owned by anyone will get used by those who take it. This is a fact. What then? Is it bad? Is it ok? Pretending it’s not a thing is to deny reality and all of human/life history

          Do you get this worked up over kids who spend too long on the swings?
