&gt;Your attitude isn&#x27;t just out of touch with reality, it&#x27;s somewhere between &#x27;callous and unsympathetic&#x27; and &#x27;sociopathic.&#x27;<p>As is needed of any soldier killing a guy who doesn&#x27;t want to be there just as much as they don&#x27;t.  Probably the most sociopathic thing I did today was I just ate a Butterfingers candy bar, made by Nestle, and thus likely involved child slavery, which I funded by buying the candy bar.  But I do think my informed apathy is a step up from ignorant bliss.<p>&gt;Roughly 95% of the people who work in crappy low-wage jobs like fast food or call centers already hate their jobs. They already hate what their employers tell them they have to do. They aren&#x27;t there because they love cold calling strangers or asking you to upgrade your meal by 1000 calories, they&#x27;re there because they need a paycheck and have little other alternative.<p>And if their work isn&#x27;t a net harm for me, I&#x27;ll try try to make their day more pleasant.  But when I&#x27;m at the local cell store again because another family member was lied to about their contract, or when you just interrupted my concentration while solving some problem to try to get me to sign up for some service that will be near impossible to cancel and which comes with more fine print than my employment contract, then I am not going to excuse you just because you did such for money.<p>&gt;Taking the stance of &#x27;we should torture these people as much as possible because we don&#x27;t have access to their employers&#x27; is bad enough, but to smugly claim that it&#x27;s really for their own good and the good of society is frankly disturbing.<p>&gt;torture<p>I found the bug.
