   Say you work in tech for a large industry leading company with various US gov contracts.

   When the Trump administration starts implementing its deportation program and builds its concentration camps, they will need somebody to supply the inventory, book keeping, cloud infrastructure, software services, etc. for all of that.

   Will your company accept those contracts?

   What will you do?

     I know that every single large tech company _will_ take (and compete for) those contracts.

     "Somebody's gonna do it, might as well be us."

     "We're providing a generic service to a large customer."

     "We have to stay competitive."

     "As nothing illegal / not in violation of our Terms of Service."

     "We already have existing contracts with them, this is nothing different."

     "We have a responsibility to our share holders to make money."

     Robert Link repeated this.
