Don’t know US law, but Canadian government made an amendment to the criminal code so that employers and managers (and other employees) who are grossly negligent like this to the point of causing death or injury can (and usually will) face jail time in addition to fines.

Also interested in this (in my case I can transit the US as it's easier for a Canadian citizen) as my girlfriend and I plan to go visit her family in antipolo at some point and don't want to pay $1100 per ticket.

Islam, just like Catholicism and Christianity is a spectrum and not a black and white belief system. I know plenty of muslims that you’d never know were muslim if they hadn’t told you in passing.

There’s nothing wrong with people seeking spirituality in their own lives, it’s pushy evangelism/whatever the equivalent for other belief systems is and religious fundamentalism that’s an absolute cancer in society. It’s just tribalism at its most basic and uses some belief system as a justification for shunning “the others”.

Man that’s bad. I went to church with an ex a few times (small wonder why it never panned out…) and even they were progressive enough to tackle mental health as “pray… but also get actual professional help”. They were a church full of fairly young and somewhat forward thinking people though so they didn’t have the older generation conservatism looming over their doctrine.
