Be careful, there's some people who actively don't understand what a public good is and are hostile to it very existence, let alone suggesting a government could practically ensure it's viability.

They're also completely blind deaf and dumb to modern society having never had to suffer.

Yeah. I have often wondered how to deal with such vitriolic behavior from a loud — but small — portion of the population.

We have entertained their callousness and allowed them to drown out the conversation for far too long.

But I digress...

We should normalize requiring them to prove their argumentum ad lapidem, otherwise they'll end up depriving us from the very air we breathe.

That's too black and white.

Many believe the market is the best vector to deliver public good. It's not a mystery why this perspective exists, and it's not obviously wrong, and it's ridiculous to think that government is the universal cure-all for suffering when they're the source of so much.
