> Why do you have such an interest in questioning other commenter's motivations? You’re arguing for a status quo that needs radical change in the face of loomi

  >You’re arguing for a status quo >No one else commenting defending microplastics like you are here talking like this is all okay. I'm really not. In the comment you replied to, I pointed out: 1. why people why might buy bottled water/sugar water 2. why microplastic warning labels on bottled water might be flawed The first is a explanation of why people drink bottled water, and isn't a defense of anything. I suppose the latter is "arguing for a status quo" in the sense that it's a suggestion to move away from the status quo, and I oppose it, but you need to have a really polarized worldview to think that opposing a policy suggestion because it's bad means I think "this is all okay", or that I'm a shill for the opposite side (as your thinly veiled comments imply). For instance, if someone's suggesting that we solve the housing crisis in the US by giving everybody $1M, and I argue against that by pointing out that giving $1M in helicopter money might be a bad idea, it doesn't mean I think the housing situation "is all okay", nor does it mean I'm a shill for landlords.
