They're lucky they were sent home instead of to an El Salvador concentration camp.

The cars suck, but he's right that the company hasn't done anything to deserve this. He's the one who chose to make himself the face of Tesla, though, so however people feel about him, they'll feel about any business he owns.

Terrorism, though? Hardly. It's protest. He's the one doing terrorism by dismantling the government.

I dunno, man, I didn't understand the Holocaust at all until my teacher starved some students to death and tossed them in an oven.

The purpose of targeting an organization that doesn't exist is that anyone who opposes the state can be labeled antifa, and therefore a terrorist.

if Mr. Mangione had spent more time pulling on his bootstraps and less time feeling sorry for himself and obsessing over his debilitating chronic back pain that UnitedHealthcare refused to cover treatment of – for I’m sure for very good reasons – he might have one day helmed a parasitic corporation of his own. Sadly, he chose another path.”

Love the satire, but one important point: Luigi didn't have UHC insurance. So if he did do this, it wasn't even because of a personal grudge - it was to strike back at a system in general that fucked him over.

In "who left their bag here"'s case, the gender of the person is not known because their identity isn't known, so it doesn't feel strange to use (for us old farts). It can take some effort to retrain your brain to use "they" when it's a single person whose identity is known (speaking from experience as a Gen Xer).

Or the person might just be a transphobic asshole. But I like to think that most just need to educate themselves on using pronouns correctly.
