>Excessive salt consumption is linked over a million annual deaths worldwide. Even water kills thousands of people per year (drowning)
And we have people and organizations that try to reduce the amount of deaths from those things. Raising awareness, passing laws, etc.
>If your rule is "we can't have things that may hurt some people" then you're going to live in a pretty bland world.
I only asked for clarification on your argument. But, no, that's not my "rule". I just think that if we can reduce harm, it's nice to do that where possible.
>Gonna be especially tough without water.
Come on. Your whole last sentence is ridiculous. The poster questioned why someone would work at Facebook. That is not the equivalent of saying "we can't have things that may hurt some people" and it's so far removed from your water/drowning scenario that I can't tell if you're being serious.
> The poster questioned why someone would work at Facebook.
I thought my answer was pretty easy to interpret, but I will spell it out: Because the vast majority of people who use Facebook enrich their lives with it.
Spelling it out even further: Just like Facebook employees, the people who work in salt mines, or build swimming pools, go to work each day because they think about the vast majority of people satisfied by their product, not about the small minority of people injured by it.
I don't work at Facebook, but if I did, the answer to "How do you sleep?" would be "Like a baby."
