I don’t really think that individuals need to feel especially bad for getting work where there’s work.
Some jobs just inherently involve asshole clients. If your job is to stitch the leather interiors for Rolls Royce, 100% of your customers are assholes. I don’t think that means you should stop doing that job and flip burgers instead.
Yes he does. Helping an authoritarian regime known for oppression and killing its dissidents is not ethical.
And sure as hell we would not mind our business, standing aside when evil is being done makes you participate in evil. Saudi Arabia needs to be named and shamed and boycotted, the same way Russia and Israel currently are.
