Your example was shipping to Pacific Islands... Have you seen the price of typical consumer goods in Hawaii? Damn near everything is shipped in and that's neither cheap nor environmentally friendly. Particularly due to economic consequences of the Jones Act.
Anyway, criticism for living somewhere like the Marshall Islands, while perhaps rationally warranted, is very rare to actually see compared to criticism for coal plants. So this is still a bizarre example.

- darkpuma 8y agoIt was not my intention to address, much less defend, that. I'm addressing your assertion that people have less sympathy for island dwellers.
