There are times when it seems like swallowing your standards and ethics will lead to a greater good longer term. Just do whatever makes the shareholders happy, take your cut, and you will be happy, right?
That is bullshit, and you know it.
Those of us with the skills the make the world better have an obligation to use them that way.
Doing the right thing will rarely make you a billionaire, but it will make you a little prouder of yourself.
That is the only value that counts in the end.
