Democratic government. At least, the legislative wing of it, is reducible to the institutionalization of the tragedy of the commons, where the consumers (renters) seek to maximize temporal consumption to the destruction of the utility productivity and fruits of the commons.

Legislatures should sit, as in texas, for just a few weeks a year – even a few weeks every few years.

Push responsibility back into the private sector and when funding for a commons cannot be produced there, then let them propose to the parliaments as we presently do to venture capitalists.
