Let me get this straight. The dude worked with customer relations (LE) and likely saw the presentations and documentation that instructed LEOs how to lie about this system in order to trick public officials into buying it... He was also around well into the days Flock knowingly gave ICE and CBP data to track down anyone who is brown or protesting fascism... He also was around as it was revealed that Flock was fine with LEOs using the data to track down those getting abortions and ex girlfriends across state lines (both illegal btw).

But it was when locals protested that this fuck felt like things were going to far?

Holy shit people in corporate America really are indoctrinated.

I just spent two years and four months unemployed.

It would take a lot to make me give up a paying job right now.

I was looking for work after being laid off a few years ago and Flock was recruiting like crazy at the time. I would have stayed unemployed for a long time before even applying there.

Be grateful that is a choice you can afford to make

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I am. Don't worry about that.

Choosing not to work for the gestapo is always an option.

But sometimes extreme suffering or death is the only other option.

Don't forget the U.S. system has been rigged to put regular people in a hard corner.

You won’t die in America from being jobless. You won’t even suffer all that much if you’re a capable person.

I’ve been homeless due to much much fucking less and standing I for individuals. Yall should be ashamed for working for these places. Really. You should. You’re the problem.

Oof, I feel that. Similar for me, though I don't really think of my situation as employment, more "mehployment" as it doesn't entirely cover cost of living.

It said the ice thing is what did it, last year

There is literally no point in this company’s history that it wasn’t the villain. Even if they only did what they claimed, it’s still a shit company.
