Hell yeah. I would also hope as many engineers as possible resign from SpaceX, Tesla and the Boring Company, but sadly too many of them probably a) have no problem with their boss’s ethics or b) are financially stressed and are afraid to do so, or c) are addicted to the lifestyle enabled by their pay grade.

The biggest trick capitalism pulled on all of us is keeping wages ‘not too low, not too high’ so we are all not starving, yet afraid to walk away from our jobs.
