With most issues American’s be like, “it is my right to shit in the stream and you can’t stop me with your preference for clean water. Go further up stream if you want clean water.” And pretty soon the whole river is full of shit, or covid, or lead, or CO2, or enormous death vehicles, or whatever, it’s a metaphor.

So yeah, I’d like to force my “preference” of having people cease shitting in the stream. Their actions are not taking place in a vacuum and they’re affecting other people negatively.
