I never would. And never have.
Everybody has their price.
I'd make way more money in defense. I've actively avoided it in my career. I spent one summer at LM as an intern. Never went back.
No they don’t.
I could earn double my low salary, as a software developer, working for say a gambling company, but I’d rather make less and not propagate misery from predatory industries.
Some of us don't have our souls up for sale and never will.
What if the corpos threaten to unalive your family?
You're an edgelord? That's a pre-existing condition.
Do you think corpos wouldn't unalive people to increase their profits?
This is Lemmy, you can say "kill" here
I assumed they were trying to 1984 because...edgelord
Looking at how badly I am getting down voted, I am afraid to say anything too controversial. I have probably been reported several times for being correct.
That's not what you said
You said a company would threaten someone's family to force them to work for that company. I am not aware of any time in recent history that a company has done this.
Obviously a large corporation would kill people and they do.
Do you need specific threats or will just the threat of death due exposure and or starving death because you can't pay for food or shelter?
For your statements to make sense, it need to driven by a specific actor not the system as a whole. Ie, yes, a specific threat.
Hmm, I haven't found any historical examples of specific threats against families. I am a bit surprised, if they are willing to kill workers, why not also threaten their families?
Also my statement was corpos in general. So it was a systemic argument.
Sure, my price is making enough money on my first day there to solve world hunger.
Bullshit. I prefer being able to sleep at night over being rich.
It's not about what they could give you, it's about what they could take away.
