I've noticed it is a quite common attitude in society, not paid enough to care so they don't.

I've noticed it is a quite common attitude in society, not paid enough to care so they don't.
- GlacierFox 5mo agoWhat do you mean? It's a depressing thought people only care about things for financial incentive.
- emsign 5mo agoIt's true though. There actually exist people whose only incentive in life is the pay they receive or the profits they can make. It seems to be more common in the US where your worth as a human being is measured by your wealth. That's why the USA looks in most parts like a third world country with a few enclaves where the rich people live.
- settsu 5mo agoWhat you're describing more often applies to retail and service workers whose pay provides little incentive to do more than the absolute minimum to maintain employment. Whereas it seems this might be a situation where the situation is actually inverse: being paid enough to not care.
- giancarlostoro 5mo agoI really would not assume that the spokesperson knows the true technological implications. As a Software Engineer, who has talked to people in marketing and PR from various companies, they know how much upper management tells them unless they independently research or understand, you can really tell when you start talking technical to them or asking them questions (based on business needs). I would assume it is very likely that they are oblivious.
- password4321 5mo agoIn this case wouldn't it be paid enough to [deliberately] not care?
- testfrequency 5mo agoOh people care, it’s just - the likelihood of being held responsible in the current USA political climate is moot. Americans can’t even agree on persecuting pedophiles, what makes you think they can agree on a clear loss of privacy for the normies that only people in power will only benefit from? It’s all exhausting
