> It seems like no one sees a cost to just not addressing the issue. It's the same "impose a small but poorly defined cost on everybody and act as though it's worth it because it maybe saves one defined life and therefore anyone who wants to call you out has an uphill battle" model you see used by bad people and dishonest comment section types the world over. Society has no good way to reason about these "it's not much individually but when you do it to all of society it adds the F up" type downsides. Like if you could save one life per year at the cost of making it take everyone an extra minute per day that's obviously not worth it at the scale of the united states because you're actually losing more life than you're saving. But replace the "one minute" with something more subjective and nobody calls it out.
