I genuinely don't understand how people that work for companies like that can sleep at night. Like no matter how much evidence I see that the vast majority of people don't put any effort or conscious thought into being a "good" person and only think about themselves and maybe their close family, I just can't accept it.
A spouse, housing, and 2.5 kids is quite a lot of motivation for people to work in the coal mines knowing they'll be at high risk of lung cancer.
Now switch the damage to groups unseen instead of yourself. Yep... People just trying to survive.
It fucking sucks.
I guess it’s up to us to make it a bit harder for them to sleep at night.
All the stuff like that is done by folks on the Bastard Committee. While the programming and stuff is done in pieces small enough to not get recognized, and then later assembled by the Bastard Programmer.
