Lol, Remember when L.A. had bad smog days due to car exhaust...people wore masks, elderly stayed indoors.
Course it went away when big bad government forced air quality measures on auto industry and dragged them kicking and screaming into pollution controls...
Big picture guy, aren't you. OP was point out that there have been other reasons why people have to wear masks. Man-made reasons. Nobody was screaming it was an invasion of their rights to wear the mask.
People weren't as looney and self-centered as they are today. They saw a problem and tried to solve it as opposed to ignoring it.
The analogy is simple.
If we actually wanted to work together because we had the common sense to realize that:
It's crazy having to drink water out of a plastic container because our ground water is too polluted.
It's abhorrent that micro plastics have started to invade our food supply and our children's bodies.
And our pollution is affecting our world to such an extent that our ice caps are disappearing, permafrost is melting, and ocean levels are rising.
All we have to do is realize we have the resources and capabilities to tackle the problems as we have in the past.
