Exactly why I wonder where our business school ethics go when it seems to me that value is only placed on what can be tied to everyone's income and profit being the 'sole' provider for it, and any Engineer's ethics being a nice thing for their own time. What would happen if we switch it up to Engineers being in charge who actually learn to make the product and the business side being the client of it rather than the other way around? Could the world be a better place? This doesn't mean every engineer or either group as a monolith is good or bad. Just that maybe in economics we can see who may value externalities even in capitalism as Adam Smith seemed to promote over just profit.

It seems also harmful to our humanity of Amendments treating disabled, brown, and black people without suspicion and abuse.

Seems the same with State unemployment benefits too, just maybe not as deadly.

The worst of all issues to me was any interruption working to help feed people or the destitute immediately has a 5 second skip, while all else has 59, 30, 20, 14 skip. There was no benefit for good externalities, just cost and profit. I was even ok with ads around 5 seconds and that they can even show up before watching a video. Adding the countdown was a nice touch too. It's when it gets in the way of UI/UX, how you have to suffer through the same commercial over and over, interrupting a video at critical moments, and ending videos with an ad so that you don't know if the video is ended that it gets awful to use. I would hope someone gets to making it 5 second ads that don't take away from the experience.

This reminds me a lot of the show Brain Dead which was masterfully done to show the only explanation for the 'weirdness' was mostly political brains being taken over by aliens to control the world. Made a lot of sense in a fictional world. https://g.co/kgs/hfMyPnP
