When Did Profits Become Evil?

I seriously worry about this attitude only because I notice it even more prevalent amongst younger folks. There is an attitude that working in non-profit is morally superior to working for profit. It isn't. It's one big lie designed to get people to do useless work for really cheap and feel self righteous about it.

I think it perfectly fine to work in non-profit or low wage jobs or do whatever the f you want. Just don't think by-definition it is inherently good or useful. I see these kids on the streets in Westwood peddling nonsense from LaRouche to Prop 8 to save the environment. I'm like - dude, go work at In and Out and make me a burger. I'll pay you for it.
