    You could tell me Microsoft uses indeginous tribespeople on human-sized hamster wheels for electricity and I’d see it as morally in their wheelhouse.

          As a senior I just feel it’s my job to make sure we don’t forget.

          I think there’s an episode of Black Mirror where the only jobs available are content creator and generating electricity on a treadmill.
