I honestly don’t know how someone does a job that makes the world worse. How does someone get up in the morning and do that. How do you get your work done without a passion for what you are doing and the knowledge that it is helping. It’s so alien to me. My motivation that keeps me working work is the knowledge that it’s doing something to help the world, even if it’s small.

if you’ll sleep well at night doing wtv u do for a company whose business is quick and violent murder for a check. fine. just understand that while money soaks up blood, it doesn’t come out in the wash. if you’re fine with that, you have a problem too big for anyone but you to address. so i hope you can make peace with that….and you should probably not tell people anymore.

If you are proud or even indifferent about working there after being made aware that you're helping kill brown kids across the country and that your company uses the profits you make them to lobby the government to spend our tax dollars on more needless death machines… Then yes, you're a piece of literal shit

Rip What I’m doing is fairly far removed from the current war. But I guess it is supporting it, at least… more so than other careers.

You are still willingly a cog in the machine. Coming from someone who used to work at L3 Harris.

“Money soaks up blood, but it doesn’t come out in the wash” is a hella line and one I will be using in the future. And from one rural medical provider to another- thank you for not selling your soul. It drives me insane to see so many patients screwed for the sake of profits.
