I don't know if everywhere is the same, but here the unemployment office keeps a record of businesses that fire a lot of people. It definitely weighs in when applying. If they see a company with a long string of people applying they're a lot more likely to approve them.

edit: I believe they refer to them as hostile employers.

Not pessimistic at all. It's realistic. We have a finite amount of money and time to make plastic problems better. To make up numbers for an example, if the total amount of microplastics put in the air each year is 1 trillion bits, and if cutting sewer pipes adds 47 bits per year, then saying "What's so bad about it" is actually saying "We have far greater issues to spend our money and time on." and it protects you from wasting that time and money.
