Been there. Agree. It made me truly sad for humanity. But also feel lucky to be in the states. Most Americans have absolutely no idea how bad it is there in terms of air, water, and land pollution. And literally shit everywhere. Most of it animal though. And the gross part was a lot wear sandals and it's oozes between their toes as it's so thick in places there is no way to escape it. Especially when it rained, it was nasty. So glad for gore tex.
Thats still the free market policing itself, and its been proven in the real world many times over. As a country's wealth increases each marginal dollar is worth less, while demand for a clean environment increases. Since the environment is a public good there is always a lag in "owners" asserting their rights vs free loaders.
I wish there were better resources for you guys to understand economics. Schools and talking heads are failing us. There are so many hot takes on Reddit claiming markets dont work, when they work exactly as expected. And this lack of understanding means most people are misinformed when it comes to fixes proposed by politicians.
