Consumers: Well, that’s fine!
consumers: my boss says i need a smartphone for MFA and will only give me a small stipend
I love the notion of a Mcdonald’s employee needing MFA.
Or that the only reason people buy smartphones is for MFA (in the years before widespread MFA, I’m sure they were getting them because they knew MFA was just around the corner.)
Edit: I think it’s just easier to admit people don’t really give a fuck about other folks if it would cost them anything. Walk down any street, most people are wearing clothes they know to be made by children who occasionally burn to death and many of those same people will happily fork out $200 for the “coolest” versions of those same child slave made clothes.
Some people be like that.
But also there is so much toxic stuff with our world its impossible to avoid all of it. You cant do good on all the fronts at once.
To illustrate (this is not a critique of any person)
Lets say your deciding to not have that phone and only get clothes you know are made fairly.
Good job. But are you still driving that dirty car? Even if its electric your still a part of the to overpaving of natural ground.
How about turning vegetarian because we aint blind for the animal cruelty. And don’t forget to donate to save the sea projects because on a water based planet the health of the ocean is always the most important conversation of the day.
Btw we still looking for people to join the anti war protest. If you truly care about the routine murder of civilians you will be there,
While were at it we should probably quit our jobs. Being a programmer at a tech company isn’t exactly doing mych ney positive. Also the modern economy is screwing everyone and killing any chance of a future so its more ethical to volunteer instead of work.
Also you are late to bring the kids to school. And your youngest is trowing a tantrum because you tried to feed them a more ethical alternative for nestle products.
I am just illustrating. People have needs, lives and others to take care off. With out limited energy we can try and put some towards doing something good. We have to respect the choices people make to do that good. Even if its not our personal branch of activism.
