The disconnect here is between people who believe there's an inherent wrongness to things being worse than they need just because it's under a rug, versus those who see no problem here if the market doesn't punish it. I realize those in the first camp have the burden of proof to make a cogent argument beyond "this offends me personally," but those in the second camp are arguing from their own conclusion. Edit: it's like climate change: individual decisions that are all locally justifiable according to some decision framework, but add up to a world which is objectively crappier than a world in which we did collectively behave this way.
