Same thing with people working at McDonalds producing burgers that make people fat, unhealthy and give them heart attacks. It's the economy we live in. You're lucky if your job doesn't actively destroy society, nature, health or whatever else there is. Basically every job has side-effects. You build housing for the poor? Well, nature isn't going to be happy with you pouring concrete everywhere.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoFunny to equivalate poor MacDonalds workers who don't have many other options to highly paid Googlers and Meta employees who could work anywhere else, and also equivalate damage being done from building housing for the poor to damage being done from building user tracking and manipulation software. Building housing for the poor does damage to the environment but it also provides a public good, the poor now have housing.

- FirmwareBurner 3y agoThen please enlighten us, What is your point?
- madsbuch 3y agoMy main question is about narrative. Many people identify themselves and are driven by narratives. In McDonalds you can say that you feed busy people on the go. Provide the framework for a stressed stressed family who needs an out for an evening etc. I am not trying to qualify each of these individual narratives. People do that themselves. My initial questions was just on the enumeration of narratives that would leave the implementor on the morally right side.
