What are you the next CEO of United healthcare? Get some fucking ethics bitch

Who has the least ethical job at Lockheed?

My money is on the salesman, "this bad boy can kill so many children"

By shifting what you sell to “this bad boy can disperse your targeted package across an area x by y in z time frame” instead of “we can turn the entire school to rubble” you help them sleep at night.

Consider for instance some comfortable English professor defending Russian totalitarianism. He cannot say outright, ‘I believe in killing off your opponents when you can get good results by doing so’. Probably, therefore, he will say something like this:

‘While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigors which the Russian people have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement.’

Boy Boy has a video where they sneak into a military weapons convention.

One guy was selling crowd control armor and advertised the dissociation from your actions that armor like that creates, divorcing you from guilt.

CEO because he likely gets paid mostly in shares, and it's really shareholders (not employees) who have the most choice in the matter.

Does their workforce in D.C count?

I had a job offer from Cambridge Analytica, they were up front about the work they were doing as well as the pay. Though it was tempting to sell my soul for the pay, even I have my limits.

I had an interview with a “mass email” provider. By the time I left it was clear to both of us that no way in hell.

Is it bad that I consider this much worse than a defense company? Lockheed has some cool tech and help protect my country, at the huge cost of killing so many. Cambridge Analytica indiscriminately attacks people’s privacy, all people, and for profit with no hint at a good purpose

Even Lockheed Martin looks down on Boeing.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Or looks up to Boeing

Although some companies like Boos Allen and NSO group blow both Lockheed Martin and Boeing out of the water.
