This is similar to people working doing these jobs with horrible outcomes to feed , clothe, and house their families... But then those jobs are creating a worse world/future society for their families at the same time.

Like, doing morally compromised things for moral reasons.

It ends up with everyone working towards a worse world "because we have to" to survive in the worse world we all worked to create.

"I did it for my kids!" - but then it's a future your kids struggle even more to live in.

ICE? AWS engineers? IDF officers? Crude oil refinery workers? Who exactly are you talking about if not about all of us

It's a visual representation of the current layoff epidemic. There's no hidden message.
