    Consumers shouldn’t have to pay because it disproportionately impacts people who live below the poverty line. Rich people and companies won’t care but people in poverty, with no means to move of affect change, get absolutely fucked.

    Companies should be paying for it, because they are the ones that use the vast majority and profit from it. Normal people don’t profit from this shit.

    Anything that negatively impacts the end consumer and not the company who dictates these things to the consumer…? Is wrong. End of.
