So you want to replace stone with some shitty plastic aggregate or some other godawful synthetic material instead of just wearing breathing protection for the couple of hours you’re cutting it? That makes no sense.

Because this article is about pulling heartstrings, not rationality. Stone countertops = rich people, rich people = bad, and rich people should feel guilty about doing said bad thing and spend massive amounts of money on plastic product instead. If you instead just switch the headline out to concrete it wouldn't generate clicks because everyone has concrete. Also the safety protocols in homebuilding around cutting concrete are just as bad as stone cutting. If you are cutting anything with a spinning blade you should be wearing PPE. Metal, rocks, plastic, wood, etc. That's where we should demand both laws and enforced requirements for these workers so we're not exploiting and cripping an entire class of people.
