    The GP is talking about the dismantling of the Commons in England during the Industrial Revolution.

    Anyway, it’s not that simple. English even got the term “tragedy of the Commons” to refer to what was happening before the dismantling. Those people still were plainly stolen, yes, but the value what was taken wasn’t that clear. Also, people were escaping the Commons into factory jobs way before they were taken.





  • If you are expecting consistency from something like this, you should try getting involved in local politics at least once.

    Whatever way you imagine for deciding it, the answer is yes, they do that.

    Do they gesstimate? Yes!

    Do they hire engineers to guesstimate? Yes!

    Do they concede to popular pressure? Yes!

    Do they concede to money pressure? Yes!

    Do they use the placement to guide the city’s evolution? Yes!

    You lose a bit of it every time you recycle, turned into non-recyclable compounds.

    You will lose half of it in half a dozen iterations or so. What wouldn’t be a big deal if so much of it wasn’t single-use, but it is.

    Also, aluminum is more polluting to make than most plastics. It may compensate for that with the easiness of recycling or not, depends on lots of details.
