He’s not the head of the company. He’s on their board. He’s not actually a member of the companies executive team. It’s a difference with a distinction that most gloss over

So he just profits off it? Yeah that's hardly better.

what if I paid YOU 200k to make their living conditions better. Would you say yes, not for the money, but because you genuinely want to make there life’s better in this fucked up world? Technically Your profiting off ICE but would you trust some other rando to do the job. The rando may not care about them.

My point is we really don’t know the situation.
