So following that if someone wanted to do a ton of drugs and overdose ... It's on them and not the dealer legally right? Odd how fossil fuel industry seems to get a unique pass on its damages and liability

> "if someone wanted to do a ton of drugs and overdose" You answer your own questions. Generally people make their own decisions and must take responsibility for them. This is certainly true for our daily life and lifestyle choices that drive use of fossil fuels, health issues, etc.

  The Good Place made the point that people no longer understand the unintended consequences of the decisions they make because of the complexity of the world that we live in. The harm is so far removed from the choice made by an individual in the moment that people don't realize how they are contributing to the destruction of things (like nature) that the otherwise care about and respect.

    Sorry but this is pure BS from lifestyle health choices to environmental consequences. This is 2025, people are constantly hammered with messages about the consequences. They know. They actually don't care.

      There are some cases where it's obvious, but there are many cases where it is not. "Made in XXX" labels aren't sufficient for a consumer to discern at a glance whether a product is made sustainably or if the manufacturer is a rampant polluter. Sometimes cost is a proxy for that information, but not always.
