Sorry, it's just I was on mobile. And as someone below pointed out, it was a pretty emotional response for me. Apologies for the unsubstantiated and harsh allegation.

I just really object to how casually OP waved off people losing their jobs.

When you say something that triggers someone’s trauma, often their only choice is between an emotional response and simply keeping quiet and hoping to leave the situation.

The same person at a later time (or someone who has obvserved that trauma second hand) can sometimes form a calm, rational, politically correct depiction of the issue for you.

If you demand the latter, you will learn much slower, because you are rejecting the best available information on what things are traumatic to people.
