My humor may be crass, but the comparison stands.

You can't assume everyone received a severance, had enough severance or wasn't severely impacted by the layoff (just because they made a decent living prior).

There's a non-zero percent one or more laid off individuals killed themselves due to losing their job. Don't minimize that.

Where's the actual joke? It wasn't structured like a joke, and as someone who enjoys a crass joke, I can confidently say I didn't find it funny.

Meta and Salesforce both gave out severance. Meta's packages were well reported on and were through the end of this year at full pay with healthcare.

This is gishgallop. You're just bringing in new unrelated things. to muddy the issue. Moreover, do you think wealthy laid off people have higher or lower rates of self harm vs victims of human trafficking?
