time pollution

Based on the idea that pollution is "degrading the quality of a common resource", time pollution happens when someone wastes everyone's time, say in a meeting, by talking about something that is useless, uninteresting, irrelevant or purely rhetorical.
"Hey, how did the planning meeting go?" "Oh, you know Bob doesn't know anything. He just created a lot of time pollution. Everyone was just yawning and waiting for it to finish."

Universal Pollution

Universal Pollution, literally, refers to a kind of pollution that is affecting the whole world. It can be anykind of pollution, often not referring to environmental pollution or any environmental issues. People will not compete for Universal Pollution and its supply is far greater than its demand (probably no demand), scarcity will not occur. People would like to get rid of Universal Pollution. People would prefer less of them. It has a negative price and it is with a negative value to the consumer. Therefore, Universal Pollution is a kind of bads (opposite of economic goods).
