Exactly, thank you for proving my point. I, like 90% of Americans, do not care enough about the opioid epidemic to do any research. We care so little, that we don't even know Richard Sackler's name. I have a million things to care about in my personal life, and a million other pieces of news I could worry about instead.
It's not a personal attack, I'm not sure why you're getting so offended about it, it's simply human nature.
The other thing you seem not to grok is that if 90% of Americans said Richard Sackler needs to be prosecuted it would happen. However, maybe 10% of the population knows that name.
So, in conclusion, back to my original point -- If you ever want more than 10% of the population to know the name, you have to bring him up in your discussions, because 90% of us don't care enough.

You directly told people here that it was their fault they’d not done the effort to do some research and propose something, and that they didn’t really care about this issue. If you don’t understand why people will respond very poorly to that, then my genuine sympathies go out to you, because that was a personal attack.
