  The flaw is explained in what I just said.

  1. If you turn them down, that reduces their talent pool.
  2. If you trimmed them down you are no longer responsible for the suffering caused by their products.
  3. If enough people turn them down they will have to reassess their approach.

  Ultimately, doing something evil just because you decide someone else would do it if you didn’t, so you might as well benefit doesn’t make it any less evil of you to do that thing. In fact, it makes it worse.

    1. Their talent pool is 10,000% what od needed
    2. That does not affect them, as I said.
    3. That is impossible because of #1

    I didn’t say it was personally good for you, I said it wont affect that job getting filled. And it won’t

      No, what you said was that it didn’t matter whether it not you took the job, because it would get done anyway. And that is a flawed argument.

        I don’t work for them because I chose not to, but honestly, work for them, don’t work for them, it’s not like they’ll lack for employees. If you write that line of code that eventually blows up a hospital or someone else does, it will still happen. You’re not going to stop them by turning down job offers. You’re going to need to change politics.

        No, I certainly did not. Kindly refrain from putting words in my mouth.
