Once upon a time, a frog was happily swimming in a pot half full of water. He didn't care whether the water came from a tap or from individual disposable plastic bottles.
"Makes no difference to me! says the frog.
The water in the pot started out at a comfortable temperature, but over time it became warmer. This made some other frogs uncomfortable.
"I'll just buy ice cubes for the pot!" said the frog, as he worked on his latest scheme to sell thermometers which read 82 degrees when it was actually 91 degrees. "Capitalism AND mind over matter at it's finest!" said the frog. "It's a twofer!"
The temperature continued to climb, slowly, and the frog persisted, telling everyone he could "it's all good!". Right up until it wasn't.
The end. (literally)
