Sure, that doesn't make it a practical solution for everyone though

Yeah, "rising wages" are mostly due to the wage offered to new employees. Existing employees don't get shit and inflation is still eating away at their buying power.

I'm sure he's absolutely devastated to have to tell another obvious lie.

Yes, those billions of dollars are sure to cause untold sadness among the shareholders.

Technically it was invented by Xerox then developed for the military. The 1990s version of the internet was more akin to what you described but I wouldn't say it was designed with that in mind.

Not if we start hanging those who take bribes. In fact, I'd argue that the reason for most of what's happening right now is that politicians and the rich are not at all scared of being dragged out of their homes by an angry mob and hanged for their crimes against humanity. You can't craft perfect anti-corruption laws. Making them fear retribution from the people would work better than any fine or potential jail term.

This is an interesting discussion topic because both angles have good points and that feels unusual these days. On the one hand I think you're right that some people need the work and that can justify pushing some minor ethical boundaries. On the other hand, the "I'm just doing my job" line of reasoning has been used to justify some pretty horrific stuff throughout history.

A line separating the two should certainly be drawn somewhere but I'm not sure exactly where to put it. I'm pretty confident that a lot of the bad stuff happening in the world right now would improve if more people were more thoughtful about where that line should be.
