Yeah that's a whole insane aspect of this to me:

So many people will have whatever set of values, and then also a 6 or greater figure salary... from one of the main causes of the problem.

Now in most instances it would be stupid to criticize a low income wage slave for Walmart or Starbucks for being a low income wage slave. You should do the opposite, sympathize with them, help them form a union, etc.

But the tech industry?

These people are much more likely to actually have the means to exit gracefully, downsize their life a bit, and not be a hypocrite.

'Just following orders' didn't work at Nuremberg, and it doesn't work for me either.
