Bob, you are a classic example of why economists invented the concept of Tragedy of the Commons. Since you've displayed a shocking lack of knowledge around economic theory and statistics, I'll post the meaning of that concept below: "The Tragedy of the Commons" is an influential article written by Garrett Hardin and first published in the journal Science in 1968.[1] The article describes a dilemma in which multiple individuals acting independently in their own self-interest can ultimately destroy a shared resource even where it is clear that it is not in anyone's long term interest for this to happen. en.wikipedia.org
