What an inane analogy. "Humanity" is not liable for the actions of legal entities like corporations. Should we all be punished for the misdeeds of boeing? It's probably only a few people who are directly responsible. Don't shill for them.

Did they need a slash s for this? Did they? Because people like you make me believe they needed a slash s. Like. Obviously this was a sarcastic comment because the original comment they responded to was horribly fallible. There are whole industries built on the idea that an industry can be destroyed by liability. It's literally why we have liability insurance. So when someone responds to that comment with an equally fallible statement that is clearly meant to be sarcastic we just ignore that because we feel that their statement is wrong? What even is this.

with the crazy shit on the internet nowadays, you have to assume the worst at all times. not everyone is good at sarcasm, even when it’s obvious.
