Deplorable.

Thirty of us shared one room. We were given one Styrofoam cup for water and one plastic spoon that we had to reuse for every meal. I eventually had to start trying to eat and, sure enough, I got sick. None of the uniforms fit, and everyone had men’s shoes on. The towels they gave us to shower were hand towels. They wouldn’t give us more blankets. The fluorescent lights shined on us 24/7.

Everything felt like it was meant to break you. Nothing was explained to us. I wasn’t given a phone call. We were locked in a room, no daylight, with no idea when we would get out.

...

To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks.

Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there.

That wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials.

When someone buys a used Tesla, that's one less new Tesla sold = lower Tesla sales numbers, profits, and viability of dealerships. It also devalues the car.

Used car prices have been similar to new in recent years, so devaluing Teslas makes buying used a more attractive option for people who would buy one anyways.

For example, I would also rather have someone who couldn't otherwise afford an EV be buying a cheap, devalued Tesla and slapping a bunch of anti-Musk stickers on it than buying a new gas car.

Another example is I would rather have a MAGA idiot buying a used Tesla and unintentionally denying Musk another new car sale than a gas-guzzling pickup truck.
