I mean working somewhere like Qualcomm or Microsoft when you care about FOSS, democracy, and the public commons, or a weapons manufacturer for a military that invades other countries and kills innocent people in their homes.

    I used to work for health insurance. I hated the job with a passion.

    The way I dealt with it was simple. Each day I tried to push just a tiny bit in a good direction. And when that didn’t work, every day I would put out a resume. Eventually I did get a job outside the industry and it was amazing.

    Each day you have a bad day, put out a resume. Its a numbers game, eventually you get lucky.

      When Mr. Incredible could not be a full-time crime-fighting superhero, he still superheroed by helping people navigate the labyrinthine madness of insurance agencies.

      Be like Mr. Incredible.
