In the mid-aughts, I had an opportunity to do IT in Iraq for one of these mercenary outfits. It was good, tax-free money, but I declined because I didn't want to work for evil. Every person who works there had to make the same choice and chose to work for evil. Have no sympathy for anyone who works for these fucks.
This right here is exactly why I have no issue with the Luke and Lando destroying either death star.
Were there independent contractors present? Tons. Heaps, even.
I can tell you a contractors personal politics comes into play heavily when choosing jobs.
Anyone who knows the score and chooses to actively participate in evil and morally dubious business gets no sympathy if shit hits the fan.
Also as 3rd party labor, most recently I refused to do any jobs that took me into a Target. Lost out on about $3000 of work, but they will never get anything from me, even if they're paying me for it (directly or not)
Goddamn.. this is actually a really well framed and boiled down to the guts of it kinda statement. Every now and then, but all too rarely, bad things happen to bad people. Thanks Chief. Tell Keiko I said hi
This is why i manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination.
Bunch of savages
I would probably take the work at target, overcharge them and donate the overcharged portion to black community non-profits. Assuming you're the one to be able to make such calls, but they probably would go with someone else anyways if you quoted the overcharged rate.
You should take any job involving Target and then do a job that looks good but breaks easily.. then once that happens you go fix it again and you can donate some of it to a charity! See it as a way of wealth redistriburion
Do you think the death star would have officers families on it or something. Maybe not. What about conscripts? And how do we classify clones, they didn't really make a choice. Though at the end of the day, it was a planet killer. Anyone decent there was really just a human shield. I would call it a sad but decent trade.
