tragedy of the commons

The idea that since no one owns a common are (e.g., a public park) that no one takes care of it

The rundown condition of the park was another example of the tragedy of the commons

day trader

1. A person that insists on being actively involved in a group conversation but is incapable of saying anything that adds any value.

The guy everyone wishes would just shut up and leave, because what they're talking about is actually interesting, and the constant "that's what she said"s stopped being funny about 12 minutes ago.

A social parasite that gets a little selfish boost of attention by sapping a little bit of energy out of any interesting discussion.

2. A person that does the equivalent of the above, except with the stock market.

Mike: "That's really cool, Sam, where do you work?"

Dan: "that's what she said!"

Sam: "Just two blocks away. We make the chess boards out of onyx, and marble"

Dan: "marble like my dick!"

Mike: "Neat, do you cut the stone with a water jet?"

Dan: "my dick's a water jet!"

Mike & Sam: "STFU Dan! You are such a day trader! I hope you contract syphilis!"

tragedy of the commons

The fact that unregulated resources that are held in common are exploited to the point where they lose their usefulness.

Commonly used to argue that having any resources (parks, etc.) held in common will always lead to their destruction. Especially by libertarians and people who want corporate welfare.

We could make this publically-owned pristine forest into a public park Governor, but that would only lead to the tragedy of the commons. Let's sell it to the logging intrests instead! Since they'll have ownership over the land, they'll have good reason to take care of it.
