And engineers couldn't get rich themselves without the billionaires shelling out for them to build their torment nexuses.

I want to get rich too. I want to live a good life, and provide for my family. I don't want to just survive. So I can't say I don't empathize.

That's fine, just know that you permanently forfeit any right to complain about others doing things for personal gain that indirectly harm yourself.

> I want to live a good life, and provide for my family.

This is a lie you're telling yourself, you can do both just fine without building the torment nexus. Billions of people do so indeed.

> I want to get rich too.

You should've stopped here, but then it became too much so you had to resort to appending that nonsense. It's pure greed at the cost of everyone else, that's all. Simple lack of morals, impaired empathy and remorse.

Which would be fine if the only two choices were build the torment nexus or starve. But it's not the only source of income out there.
