Right, and profit is evil. Anyway it's not at all irrelevant to the discussion; it's evidence that the men are likely among the good guys. Probably.
Right out of the "progressive" handbook. I did not say "evil", you did. I never have a need to put words in other people's mouth as argument. Try it sometime.
And yes, I maintain that that is totally irrelevant to the story, "who" hired them.
To emphasize, business today is amoral and focused on profit. Neither good nor evil, neither fearful or reckless, just focused.
