Palantir Defends Work w/ ICE after murder of Alex Pretti

https://www.wired.com/story/palantir-ice-dhs-alex-pretti-killing-workers-slack-minneapolis/

"After federal agents shot and killed Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti on Saturday, Palantir workers pressed for answers from leadership on the company’s work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—and many questioned whether Palantir should be involved with the agency at all. Leadership defended its work as in part improving “ICE’s operational effectiveness."

Working for Palantir is like working for LexCorp. There's no way anyone is working there without already knowing their work is evil.

It's fascinating to watch all these lawful evil corporations struggle with their alliance with the chaotic evil trump admin.

“[...] I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this,”

Don't cry about it online. You've discovered your employer is a fucking monster (well done, it took you long enough), now quit.

Please dig deeper, Palantir. You never know: If the hole you're in gets deep enough, you might strike oil.
