    She should be garneshed

    “Should” being the operative word here. The top level comment using should “in auxiliary function to express obligation, propriety, or expediency.”

    The next poster says that this is “not a good response” because it would destroy her life.

    They are disagreeing over what should happen, not what is happening.

      Right but then also this

      The problem of healthcare in the USA is way more severe than a destroyed MRI machine.

      I’m just not sure how people aren’t getting why someone might be confused by this entire exchange

        I agree that part was a non-sequitur. I even thought so myself when I first passed over it.

        But the other part of the exchange is not confusing at all and there’s zero indication that anyone thought she is actually on the hook for any damages. I’m more-so confused how you could not pick up the meaning even after a re-read.
