It's bullshit though. That isn't how life works, it's not a humane standard to hold people to, and no one does it.
You make judgements. The squeaky wheel gets noticed. And just because you notice one squeaky wheel doesn't mean you are required to inspect every wheel for potential squeaks every time you are aware there may be wheels somewhere in the future.
If you want to claim that Chef should cease business with ICE explicitly on the moral grounds that no company should have any business with the agency, that is a valid claim. But to say that Chef had any influence, let alone "all the ability" as the root commenter wrote, to affect ICE's conduct is not a statement I find to be honest.

The root commenter seems to be saying that the CEO of chef has "all the ability" to change this situation.
He could have said this. He could have taken a stand and set an example. He chose to take the easy way out, and I think there are too many people in this thread willing to make excuses for his moral cowardice.
He may have done the right thing as a CEO, but he has failed miserably as a human being and an American citizen.
