Don’t forget “we don’t build weapons…well the company does but my team doesn’t.”
- tivert 2y ago> Don’t forget “we don’t build weapons…well the company does but my team doesn’t.” It's totally possible. There's an defense contractor in my area where all the work at the local office is on non-defense government projects.
- rurp 2y agoSure, but it could still be a deterrent for some applicants. They might not care enough about that distinction to apply to the company.
- injb 2y agoThat's fair enough but it's an arbitrary place to draw the line. If you pay tax in the US then you build weapons. If you live in a country that doesn't either build weapons or pay someone else to build them for you, then you'll soon be getting told what do by some country that does, and building weapons is one of the things they'll probably tell you to do.

It's currently the only thing preventing a liberal democracy from being overrun and genocided because a tinpot dictator with nuclear weapons woke up on the wrong side of the bed back in 2022 and said "I want, I take."
