wtfff did I just read. this is so unhinged. all over a newsletter article about the company? this is insane. also 3m is way too low for all they were put through.

Should be $1M per incident imo.

i had to go back at the end and make sure i wasn't misunderstanding what the couple did. All that because of a negative blog post?!
