That's a little more forceful but I think you're exactly right. Every time someone proposes anything to ameliorate the situation at all we have to hear from fifty people who specifically need a daily allotment of 100 disposable plastic straws and no car but a Hummer will do for them. There's always _someone_ who's being inconvenienced so we can't do anything but just keep doing the same thing over and over even though we know it's not sustainable.

Yes, it's very much intentional. I've grown tied if being nice and trying to have thoughtful conversations with naysayers who have no interest in honest discussion.

If there's one thing this neverending coronavirus crisis had demonstrated to me it's that occasionally we need a stronger hand to push aside everyone's petty wants and preferences.
