To be wrong is 'human error' but to be intentionally wrong is not only a sin but a crime and should be punished. We've seen much evidence of this in the last 2 years from politicians, medical professionals, and the media. If "THEIR" crimes go unpunished it will only get worse in the coming years.

Whether it’s “pour salt in an open wound” or “rub salt in an open wound” or simply “salt in wound” the meaning is the same. Whatever has been said or done, hurts as much as having salt applied to a wound in the hopes that it will make everything better eventually. In the end, though, the phrase “salt in the wound” comes from the days when salt was rubbed into wounds as an antiseptic. During the earlier centuries, when England was establishing its navy, most sailors were forced into service. While at sea, punishment was often lashes with a cat’o’nine tails. These whippings would almost always break the skin, and salt was rubbed into the wound to prevent infection. In this way, “salt in wound” was a very literal, stinging phrase.
And then there are those who will tell you that the early beginnings of the phrase come from the Bible. Jesus did not tell his disciples, “You are the sugar of the world.” He is credited as saying to them, “You are the salt of the earth.” Even back then in ancient times, doctors would sprinkle wounds with salt in the hope of fighting off infection.
Since salt was an antiseptic that performed the negative function of preventing meat from spoiling and the positive function of disinfecting wounds. The sting of having one’s negative behaviours brought to the forefront by the teachings of the disciples was akin to “salt in wound.”
