I am very likely older than you. I worked in the corporate world for over thirty five years. I came to view those around me
as a bunch of self serving ass kissing toadies. I was quite certain most of them fit that category. That long exposure taught
me to be a cynic toward most people's outward persona and to look for the true person in their agendas.
Along the way I formed my core beliefs on the rest of humanity and what my interaction toward them should be. I never strayed far
from my childhood teachings of being fair, but I also learned to be guarded. I never had a problem letting people know exactly where I stood, and I never stood for wrong. That was one reason I never advanced far until the end of my career where my expertise in my field became something they could not spare due to their own poor understanding of the field and their failure to take care of the others like me.
In all those years I did not have to do anything that would go against what I felt was ethical because I always found a way to force what I wanted done. Would I have just walked away if that hadn't happened, probably not. Your first loyalty is always to your family, yourself, and God. Anything that undermines against those three loses.

My point exactly. For example, it's very easy to say we won't work at a job that requires mandatory vaccines, but if faced with that situation with three kids at home needing fed, how many will adhere to that? And the more people who comply, the harder it gets for everyone to avoid it. THIS is how they've managed to consistently erode our freedoms. THEY know the choices most will make, and people need to think about that.

Existence blackmail. Do what we say or we will ruin your life - fired, humiliated, jailed, kids taken away, etc.
