The real analysis of "the commons" shows that electricity is no longer a luxury, but a necessity second in importance to food and water. Somepeople keep medicines refrigerated, as one example.

Also in "the commons," even with very expensive scrubbers, which often are grandfathered away, are stack effluents which kill people, lakes, and forests.

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin

Commons is not the same as common good, and "the tragedy of the commons" (a disputed concept anyway) refers to the commons, not the common good. Do you perhaps mix the two up, or am I just not getting something?
