Unfortunately, in a capitalist society, it's easy to sell your ethics away so that YOU and your family have: housing, food, water, electricity, medical, internet, basic communications tech.

And if those ethics you sell are devising plans to save money by harming completely random unknown people via generalistic policies that kill them, well, yeah. They're faceless numbers.

It's like that meme where there's a button. If you press it, you get $1M . But some random person dies. In our society, if you have access to that button, spamming the button gets you piles of money. And THOSE types spam it as hard as they can.
