Maybe the elites realized that money can't buy microplastic-free fish if EVERY fish has microplastics in it.
Are we scoffing at the idea that plastic is useful now?
- Considering the harm it has done in addition to its usefulness, yes.
- is it useful? sure. is it a massive ecological disaster happening in front of our eyes? yes.
  
  sometimes usefulness doesn't equate to good, like with CFCs or PFCs
