It’s amazing what happens when you just steal innovation from the rest of the world and are aided by a cabal of globalist treason merchants called politicians selling out their entire civilisation for a quick buck.
You should care about the work you do. Just remember who you are doing it for. They own the work they being the company. If the company wants to reward incompetent kleptocrats then I salute them as long as I get PAID the second they stops happening they can with the greatest of respect get f’d. then you just take your trade and apply it somewhere else having learned expensive lessons they paid for about what worked.
In some ways the west is still remarkably feudal but to the direct chain of managers not just directly to your “liege lord”. I regularly see people say no to big bosses who are outside the direct management even if they have high ranks.
I agree however allowing any company regardless of its business the opportunity to escape liability of consequences is dangerous. Pharma companies have in the past and will continue to have their scandals same as any other industry. There shouldn’t be exceptions. Who gets to define what industry is important or not and therefore avoids regulation is dangerous as it’s only as reliable as the “who’s” in control.
