Incorrect. If a company buys my services, they are free to do with that service what they please. We don't shut down hammer companies because some dude whacked another with one.

You think you are on the moral high ground here, which is why you are taking such a strong stand.

Also, I think you were looking for "complicit", not complacent. You are also wrong there as well. We are voters, that is how we approve or disapprove of government actions. Not everyone has a high paying job and can afford the luxury of ignoring new clients or stopping business because of some holier-than-thou nonsense. People have bills to pay.



1. Nobody is shutting down companies that are doing politics they don’t agree with.

2. Selling hammers to the general public is not the same as catering a service to a single client that engages in human rights abuse.

3. Working for a company is not the same as controlling a company that engages in bad politics.
