And? You'd probably walk away with at least 6 digits in your bank account. 7 or maybe 8 if you're lucky.

This is the kind of money I wouldn't say no except for a very good reason.



Money > ethics in your worldview? This is compounding the issue and creating a toxic incentive.


Money is objective while ethics are not


This is a meaningless comment.

You can mark assets on a spreadsheet, plot profits on a graph, and the result is simply a representation of the abstract concept: finances.

When you factor intent, then money becomes objective. When you factor the ethics of the entity using financial influence, then the result is objective because it affects the real world.

I don't know how else to explain this, and maybe I can't convince you, but real people are affected by these choices.

Profits are never a meaningful metric precisely because they can't be divorced from ethics.


No, but ethics should be on your business model not so much on who's financing it.


Everyone has a price.
