No not evil. My observation is that people are pragmatic (hence, machiavelli and the arguments of moral ethics).

My observation is that why should we expect highly paid tech workers to conform to some higher ideal. They have more to lose.



I have to disagree that ehite collar folks at FAANG have more to loose. Blue Collar flks are employed at low salaries in economically weak regions, they loosr their job they risk loosing everything. Especially in the US with a non-existant social safety net. White Collar, especially tech employees, have the option to work for similar salaries somewhere else rather easily.

Other than that, full agreement.
