What makes you buy conventional dairy farmed products? It's clear how harmful it's for a well being of cows/calves.
What makes you buy chocolate from giant corps that have slave/child labour in their supply chain?
You’re bringing up the topic of spending money mindfully while the question is about earning it.
You do save (= earn) when buying cheaper products without asking questions why it's so cheap.
It's still called whataboutism.
Funnily enough, I’m vegan and I avoid Nestlé products at all costs.
Everything anyone does is harmful for someone else. No matter of you eat meat or be a vegan.
But there are different kinds of harm.
> Everything anyone does is harmful for someone else.
That's wildly false.
Prove me wrong.
Fallacies : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque
I appreciate you linking the fallacies, but I don't think they're relevant here because answer to both questions (mine's and author's) is the same and I don't try to discredit the author, just offering to examine their own experience to better relate to people earning $500k/y at facebook.
Interesting topics for another thread.
