Great, admission is the first step.

Yet then you immediately undo it!
Try "I'm too greedy". You're the actor with the free will here. The subject of the sentencd shouldn't be "the pay". That is just an amount, a sum, that exists - neither too high nor too low. That is all in the eye of the beholder.
- andyferris 9mo agoHonestly, the EU is more likely to change the behavior of e.g. Facebook than a single employee would. (IMO if the US federal government spent more time caring for it's citizens it would consider doing such things more seriously itself).
- samrus 9mo agoGive them a break. People want to live a good life. We as a society shouldnt incentivize bad behavior with capital
- justacrow 9mo agoEngaging in bad and immoral behaviour for capital is still bad and immoral behaviour, particularly when one has other choices.
- samrus 9mo agoThe point of capitalism is that it incentivizes behavior at a large scale through the allocation of capital. That behavior could be bad or good. The way to make sure that behavior isnt bad is to regulate the economy to ban it. Not to scold people who follow those incentives but then do nothing about the actual incentive structure
- justacrow 9mo agoI'm all for banning social media as well as tracking in general, and will also happily work to those effects. It's also prudent to shame those who allocate and greedily take that capital.
- oompydoompy74 9mo agoIndividual action means absolutely nothing. This person shouldn’t be disparaged for making money for themselves and their family. Every single big corp that pays well is creating the torment nexus. You have to pick your poison. I personally draw the line at missiles and mass surveillance.

- hall0ween 9mo ago> Individual action means absolutely nothing. You may want to view action and sphere of influence. Does an individual have international or national influence? Probably not. How about within their community, home, or person? Probably, yes. I want a good society and I think that’s will be made up of good individuals making individual action. So to me, this all starts at home with the individual’s sphere of influence.
- oompydoompy74 9mo agoI largely agree with you. I should have clarified that I don’t personally believe individual action matters in this specific scenario.
