[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9220810, member: 2629"] Well, I'll start in one in compensation: Professional sport contract limitations. Teams used to give these massive bonus contracts to players to get them to come and play for their team for a year: Deion Sanders and the 49ers / Cowboys. This led to these dysfunctional patterns starting where a team would go all in for one year, then (some of) the best players would jump to the next team, etc... This resulted in limitations on compensation that forced the compensation to be spread out over several years - giving the teams (which stand in for the corporations) a chance to develop a franchise rather than focus all their spending onone year and then watch others take their talent the next year. There were a lot of other factors involved - but the basic idea: Limit compensation in a way that promotes the capability of the organization to prosper in a more prolonged way - is a core. Outside of that arena, you'd be looking at other situations in which there are limitations on use/benefit in one area to promote use/benefit over the long period (or to promote society overall). I can draw lines in trash/recycling charges (you see your trash charges go up, but recycling charges go down - unless you get fined for putting the wrong thing in recycling ... we make the quick and easy option with the negative ramifications harder, encourage better longer term responsibility...) and vaccine mandates (you have the option to not get vaccinated - but if you don't, you can't do a lot of things ... which discourages people from their perceived short term benefit of not getting a vaccine (which they believe to be a benefit, at least ...) and use limitations to encourage what was widely considerd to be more responsible long term wider spread benefits). Make it harder to do the stupid thing for personal gain. Make it more advantageous to do the thing that creates longer term benefits. Heck - it is basic game theory (Prisoner's Dilemma vs Repeating Prisoner's Dilemma - force the long term valuation into relevancy to adjust the personal benefit of the short term solution). [/QUOTE]
