That makes it sound like you're ok with working for ICE because it pays so well

    I don't interpret their response that way.

    As someone who is not in a good financial place, I would never work for ICE.

    However, as someone who is not in a good financial place, if I realized I was probably working for an evil empire and couldn't change anything from the inside: I wouldn't be able to quit because my family would starve. I'd need to find another way to provide first, and that's not easy when you've got kids and debt in a bad job market.

    Stocking grocery store shelves wouldn't pay the bills. That's fairy tale logic/something that people with means can joke about doing.

    Heck yeah though, if stocking shelves paid 6 figures I'd apply immediately.

    Ok, fair enough. Hopefully the enraged mob will accept this excuse once the evil empire tanks and it's mass graves are uncovered.
