You're conflating the end result and the means. I wouldn't cheer on any company doing that, just like I don't cheer on companies when they donate to campaigns for racists or people who vote for racists.
The government also doesn't have to compromise. Maybe there's a competitor who is less particular about who they do business with or in fact thinks the cruelty is actually cool and good. gitlab is 100% neutral on who they do business with, for example.

- dastbe 6y agoYou said > If Boeing decided that ICE should behave even worse, would we cheer on ICE for compromising? I said > I wouldn't cheer on any company doing that, emphasis on the "n't" in "wouldn't". And to be specific, I would not (<- that not is load bearing) cheer for Boeing advocating for more cruelty, nor would I cheer on the government for acquiescing. If you want to compel private companies to do work for an unprotected class like a federal law enforcement agency, then yes at that point you should probably go and vote to make sure that happens.
