This is an interesting discussion topic because both angles have good points and that feels unusual these days. On the one hand I think you’re right that some people need the work and that can justify pushing some minor ethical boundaries. On the other hand, the “I’m just doing my job” line of reasoning has been used to justify some pretty horrific stuff throughout history.
A line separating the two should certainly be drawn somewhere but I’m not sure exactly where to put it. I’m pretty confident that a lot of the bad stuff happening in the world right now would improve if more people were more thoughtful about where that line should be.

There wouldn’t need to be much of a line if we simply got such companies to cough up for UBI.
