What’s wrong with them?

Less time spent to do laundry shopping.

And who knows, there might still be some soul working at facebook who really believe they are building a better world.

should someone who works on a cement tugboat have to believe they are building a better world. or can they just do their job?

Cement releases a shitload of CO2. In what world is that a vague link? It’s literally the definition of the issue.

shocking, i know, but not everyone shares the same morals as a few loud % of people on twitter.
