"Sure we destroyed the planet as we knew it, but for a brief moment in time, we increased value for shareholders!"

Why did the coup occur? Do the citizens of Niger support the coup?

It’s more depressing than we weren’t paying for lunch

Because billionaires lobbied congress to reduce budget for public schools

Seems like everybody like you wants to spend money without diligence when it's the public money.

Proven methods of combating climate change are being ignored here. Hell, the government need not even invest in proven techs like wind farms and solar.. they could put that money into modernizing the power grid and even that would be better than... whatever shit this is.

I think I can distill many of the replies to this question in a few checks that may apply generally (exceptions abound, and i could just be wrong)

  1. Are you intimately familiar (subject matter expert level) with the nasty outcomes of what you would be doing on a daily basis at this company? If yes its better it was YOU and not somebody else.

  2. How much separation is there between what you do and the nasty outcomes? If you pull the trigger on a drone.. I get thats unacceptable to some people.

  3. Does not doing the activity make something else even more worse? (Frying pan vs. Fire dilemma)

  4. Are you only doing this because there's no other real choice? (Poverty)

Don't treat existing code/design/archtecture is sacred until it's backed up by static analysis proving it is bug-free.

What do you suggest? Only the state can have monopoly on violence? Only the government which is controlled by rich people can use violence?

They have qualifications to do their job. The only qualifications you have is you fucked one night and nine months later popped out a baby. But that suddenly makes you the expert.

You sound like a devil trying to control your children like that.

To do something equitably when reality is not equitable is disengineous and immoral
