The alternative in our industry is not starvation.

"You can’t buy ethics offsets for the terrible things you do at your day job." https://deardesignstudent.com/ethics-cant-be-a-side-hustle-b...

and from the same guy:

"Don’t ask how you’re going to pay your rent working ethically. Ask why you’re open to behaving unethically in the first place." https://deardesignstudent.com/ethics-and-paying-rent-86e972c...

Has everything to do with ethics and morality. You can eat without being a cog in the mega big machine trying to crush us all.
