It is possible to say no to the incentives of doing evil work; I would describe those who say no as the people with "a strong sense of personal values and ethics". This phrase has no meaning if you apply it to people who routinely violate their own beliefs in order to make more money, especially in a highly-compensated profession with a booming job market and plenty of available positions that don't require unethical behavior.

Every job I've had wanted to work me to the bone. I'd violate my personal ethics for stress-free work that'd pay my mortgage.

That's fine, but ultimately how can you look down on people like Trump, Ajit Pai, or the CEO of Comcast? They're sacrificing ethical decisions for money, same as you.

Only difference is they're getting "fuck you" money and you're barely getting enough to buy a house. Kinda lame to sell out for so little IMO.

As long you don't complain about these types of people, then whatever, but if you do you need to take a harder look in the mirror!

Ah, I get it. The "my leaders should have more integrity than me" mentality. Well guess what? One day you may be a leader...and you'll still have your crap, anti-social mentality.
