When he says, "They'd have much better health coverage" he's talking about the rich people. Not normal people!

He doesn't consider normal people, people.

Me too: My mix of btrfs and ext4 doesn't give steam any issues.

I am highly skeptical. The thing that breaks first on any given mouse or trackball is the switches or the mouse wheel. To fix them requires desoldering the components and soldering in new ones. The wheel is usually the most complicated and I've never seen one that would actually be easily repairable.

What this means is that Logitech may sell entire replacement PCBs for repairing these things but in all likelihood they will cost as much or more than buying an entirely new device. I don't trust them for a second not to do this.

Religion must be celebrated, protected and venerated,

No. No it must not. This completely unnecessary statement severely degrades the credibility of the rest of the piece.

The Aztecs used to use human sacrifice every day as part of their religious ceremonies. Shall we "celebrate, protect, and venerate" that?

What about modern day religions that practice genital mutilation? Or other completely abhorrent practices?

No: Religions should be viewed with skepticism and a critical eye. All throughout history they have been responsible for some of the worst of all human behavior and even to this day continue to lead people towards dark, unethical paths.
