    “as it always happens” The commons were around as a concept longer than the concept of ownership. Eventually this unsustainable idea of private ownership for profit will collapse and we’ll be back to working towards a common good.

      What’s cool is we don’t even have to wait for the collapse, we can start working towards the greater good today!
