  • Not to defend them too much but I’d assume that a lot of the employees are just trying to make a living. The department I’m working at was recently taken over and I have a mortgage and a kid so even if I morally disagree with some of the practices of my new employer I can’t just quit without uprooting the lives of my family.

    It’s the same for the majority of workers stuck in big corporate jobs. The capitalist orphan crushing machine will crush all in the end. Not just the orphans.

    The other aspect is that JFK and Trump simply don’t care about losing some children/people to disease. They don’t give a single fuck. It’s this ‘well maybe the weak should die’ mindset that is based on an absolutely misguided understanding of how biology works and no empathy whatsoever. The combination of stupid and ruthless means we’ll end up with absolutely needless loss of life between the other lives that we lose for the sake of increasing shareholder value.
