    I’m sure all the normal workers think a lot of things they do is absurd and borderline criminal but money is money so they don’t care.

      Hol up. We’re not talking about murder, we’re talking about inconveniencing consumers. Engineers are not the wealthy, they are the middle class. They live in this capitalist hellscape, too. Principled stands are great, but if your proposed solution is that people should put their ability to get healthcare, food, and shelter on the line to not inconvenience consumers because legislation and regulation are too hard… That seems a bit much. Work on fixing the system rather than blaming the cogs.

        ? I’m not blaming the workers

        I’m saying I feel all the workers think the companies are doing shady wrong things but do it anyways because it’s a paycheck even though they themselves are technically screwing themselves over as the consumers
