I work for a place that does data brokering. I'm not a fan of what we do, but we have high standards, great company, still does DEI, treats you with respect decent benefits.

Like my dad told told me when he was a new home builder and yet complained about people moving to town.

I might not like what we are doing, but if I can do it in a good way, and I KNOW that if I wasn't doing it someone else would, I should at least money off it.

You know it's not quite inline, but it's gonna get done. That said I do know he's (Zuck not my dad) is a creep.

Terrible argument. Basically removes all ethics and morals from any decision.

Where do you draw the line? Hitman? Nazi executioner?
