      I’ll take anything that’s a move in the right direction at this point. Gaza is the modern-day Holocaust and anything that moves the needle to make the killing stop is a good thing.

        Fuckin’ A! This is why liberals so always fucking lose. “Not GOOD enough! Not PURE enough!”. All while the right says, “Meh, I’ll take it as a win.”

      In case it wasn’t clear, companies will gladly kill you if it pads their bottom line. Their only principle is “make more money”.

        Mainly just the megacorps, which most of us don’t work for.

        Sitting a manager’s meeting, we had a choice. Do the thing that would cost our customers more, and bring us more profit, or do the moral thing. Customers were basically trapped, would have had to suck it up. After taking our input, the VP said, “Well… Guess we gotta do the right thing.”

        My last job saw our CEO telling the board he intended to lose money over the next two years in order to build up our staff and products. The board applauded him. We fucked around and made a profit anyway. :)

        Wish we had the moral fortitude to not work for these megacorps. Hell, even a strike could bring them to their knees overnight. Keep in mind, we’re so efficient now, “just in time” delivery and such, that a week-long strike would be devastating. Remember how fucking up the supply chain during COVID rattled downstream for a couple of years?

      Yeah, 3 years and they did not bother check how their tech was used by a state spy agency? Only review when journalists find out? Makes me wanna puke. And Amazon now hosting the data of mass surveilance…not one better than the other.

      In the meantime will M$ reinstate all the employees they fired? Latest a month ago… Cuz well, they were right. https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/society-equity/microsoft-fires-four-workers-on-site-protests-over-companys-ties-israel-2025-08-29/

        Why are you talking like Microsoft didn’t know? They didn’t need “to check” or to “review”. They knew and didn’t care until it started impacting their bottom line.

        They didn’t fire those employees because they thought they were wrong. They fired them for making a scene. For drawing public and news media attention to it. To try and stop the protesting employees from influencing even more employees.

        This isn’t some “oopsie poopsies, we didn’t know! our bad!” thing.
