The more I think about recent news in the context of summer in the United Kingdom and the United States, the more I wonder whether or not things such as air, sunlight, water, or other "fuzzy concepts" should be commercial products that get bought and sold by both companies and governments.

There's an extremely convincing argument that basic human rights should include breathing air and drinking water alongside having sunlight shine on you.

There's also an extremely convincing argument that if the American and British legal systems don't treat the likes of air and water as commercial goods with some price set on them then usurping entities (such as literal criminals acting on behalf of foreign businesses and/or regimes) will make these worth nothing, artificially setting a price at zero, and destroy the public trust.

Do you view air as a product? What about water? What about sunlight? What about other such things?

Trees, land? No. Anypony who wants to make use of common heritage should have to pay everypony something of equal or greater or value in return (see Venus Project)
