To hell with KLM. They lose bags and actively lie about it.

In 2017 my ex and I were flying to Stockholm (LAX-AMS-ARN), and one of our bags apparently got lost at AMS. To make things worse, we were getting on a cruise ship the next day.

I pretty much spent four days dealing with KLM, and they consistently lied to me about the status of the missing bag. Until I realized that I had purchased the tickets with American Express. I contacted Amex Global Assist and let them deal with KLM. Four days later, the bag showed up in our stateroom (might have been sooner, except for Russian law). However... as a further example of how f***ed up KLM is, as I'm looking at the bag, I get an email from KLM: "Your bag is in Stockholm, please come get it."

1. I'm in Talinn, on a cruise ship. F*** off.
2. I have the bag in front of me you f***ing liars.

In general, I'm skeptical of legislative statutes that name individuals or companies. Even the fig leaf of generalizing it to "social media companies with foreign ownership grossing over umpteen jillion dollars per year" provides some value, in my view.

They have to phrase it that way. By naming an individual or company, it becomes a bill of attainder, at which point it becomes unconstitutional on its face (see Article I, Section 9). Of course, Congress, the Presidency (both parties), and SCOTUS seem to think that the Constitution is a piece of toilet paper these days...
