Man, I'm getting really sick and tired of these mindless smug exaggerations.

Some comparable turns of phrase:

"Ranchers will literally murder an entire herd of cattle to prevent a plant-based burger from being grilled."

"Animal shelters will kill hundreds of animals just to avoid giving one dog a meal."

"Papermills will literally burn down a rainforest to make a newspaper."

If you don't understand how scale works, then just shut up so you don't sound like an idiot.
