I agree, what we are really seeing here is more of a amplification or concentration of that disease that is likely to a large degree a kind of instinctual and primitive impulse; people who have things they don't value because they didn't have to produce or work to create, are always generous with giving that away because there is no immediate or even potential cost.

That applies to everything from the generally good CA climate to profligate attitude towards money, just like how a trust fund baby is quite often generous with their inheritance or a lottery winner is with theirs.

Things will only ever change when we reconnect costs to benefits … where you pay the costs for giving away your money and opportunities', not others'.
