It just feels like there is much more intentional action here than the converging consequences of Tragedy of the Commons and Hyperbolic Discounting. It just feels more like a "smash and grab crime" meets "scorched earth policy"...

"unfettered capitalism" is a great phrase - simultaneously captures the benefits and the risks. Welcome to the risks! I'll bump that movie up my watch list. Thanks!
