&quot;there should be no commons.&quot;<p>Heh, I fully get that that&#x27;s just one person&#x27;s opinion on some internet site, but....when I was struck when I read that last line at how dismal a world it would be to live in, if we had to view literally all our engagement with the world through the lens of the transaction.<p>Going for a walk?  (Are there sidewalks anymore?)  Have you negotiated with each individual sidewalk owner for right of passage?  No?  Well, then, use the street instead.  Oh, forgot to renew your street use card?  Guess you&#x27;re stuck, unless your buddy lends you something to get to the private park nearby.  Lucky thing you saved some extra breathable air coupons for the exertion you&#x27;ll expend on the pickup basketball game.  No commons, after all.<p>I get it, the dude&#x27;s handle is &quot;ancap&quot;.  Still, I&#x27;m pretty grateful that this is a pretty fringe view, especially when he lays it out so bare, &quot;no commons.&quot;
