The makers of opioids are just producing what they asked for too.
Companies should be expected to pay the true cost of what they produce and not have it be borne by the rest of society.
- andsoitis 3y agoShareholders of companies should be held accountable, no? They’re the ones asking for more profits… Or what about our current government who recently demanded oil companies produce more to lower prices? Am I as democratic voter morally in the wrong? If not, why not?

- tfourb 3y agoHow about an "all of the above" approach: - you are morally wrong if you don't factor climate change and its repercussions on you, your children and other people into your voting decision - shareholders should be held accountable - companies should be held accountable - governments should be held accountable The lawsuit in question attempts one of these approaches, but feel free to work on any of the others, many others already do ;-) Regarding the specific "but what about Joe Biden asking for cheaper gasoline" question: Joe Biden was without a doubt the better candidate for combating climate change in the last U.S. presidential election. No need to doubt your morality (if you voted for him) in that regard. But of course there are many (primary) elections and climate change should probably be a factor for you and everybody else.
