Its pretty explicitly not a tragedy of the commons. Its a tragedy of the ruling class abusing the resources of the 'commons' to extract value. There is nothing 'commons' about trillion dollar companies extracting all available value from the labor of the working class. That's just the tragedy that'll bring around the death of society, the same tragedy that brings all other tragedys

There’s definitely lots of problems with the ruling class and wealth disparity. Perhaps the defining problems of our current age.

That being said, so many of the plebs suck. Like 2% will ruin everything for everyone.
