Many people do, but not everyone. Religious people especially tend not to cohabitate before marriage, as that would be considered a sin.

No, that's the point of a dog whistle. Those in the know understand, and they don't want outsiders to notice. One of the best ways to combat these people is to let everyone in on their "secret" codes, so we can see exactly who is putting their hat in with the Nazis.

The Lady Astronaut series by Mary Robinette Kowal. The first book is called The Calculating Stars. Basically, an alternate history where (spoiler for the opening chapter)

spoilera meteor wipes out the east coast and kick-starts climate change, causing the Space Age to start 10 years early.
It follows a Jewish computer (a woman who literally runs calculations for NASA, as seen in Hidden Figures) who wants to become an astronaut, and her struggles with the racism and misogyny of the 1950s.

Here's the thing: you're not wrong on what each side seems to have as priorities. It's just absurd that anyone should think there's any kind of equivalence between them.

Every one of those companies would probably be doing better without his involvement, so that might be a positive for them...

Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has a commentary track called Commentary! The Musical! It is exactly what it sounds like, and it's hilarious.

Probably not an issue with the bot itself, but just FYI, it appears the spoiler tags don't work on Boost.
