@georgetakei "economic damage" is such a weasel-word anyway. Skilled, valuable workers aren't able to make an honest living. That damages the economy too.... but we only talk about "economic damage" when we can point to a dipping stock price or something else that hits a billionaire's balance sheet.

If we could stop referring to people trying to deliberately cut power to thousands of people in the middle of a nationwide cold snap as "vandals" or "burglars" that'd be great.

They're terrorists. If another country did that, we'd call it an act of war.
