Yeah? And how many trees do you plant as a web developer for small businesses? How many fungi have your enthusiastic Clojure scripts saved?

Dunno if you're talking to me or a child commenter, but my career has nothing to do with what I do on the side. I work in tech so I can pile enough cash to convince banks to give me land and doctors to give me surgery. If the U.S. enacted some sort of schema that allowed me to get land and healthcare without providing for banking shareholder's portfolios I'd quit tomorrow, raise dairy cattle, grow produce, or I'd just stand up buildings and clean the side of freeways. If I owned my own time I'd do nothing but fix broken things in the world, and as soon as I've got mine and can quit engineering that's just what I'll do. How many believers in better society have you swayed with snarky comments?
I’m not excluding myself from this and am working towards it.
