Politics Part 3: The Tragedy of the Commons

from Sonic Gravity · host Viewing the Universe Through the Eyes of a Madman

What does the COVID-19 toilet paper shortage, the January 6, 2021 assault on the capitol and Walmart HR policy have in common? Yep: The Tragedy of the Commons. In this episode, I invite you into my mind, and you will see that fear causes our fears to become our reality in fact. You will see how the richest corporations tax the people and have created an American Shadow Oligarchy, and that conservative resistance to minimum wage increases in the name of price controls punishes taxpayer buying power--which is the functional equivalent of raising prices.
