is ICE the only organization they should have no business with?

I guess that when you start to count the big business your selling to (or working for) and check their ethical standards, you soon find you should not sell anything to most of them. For example. were they fine at selling software to those companies that throw the world in the worst recession since 1929, making some people lose needed savings? Was it OK to sell software to companies that sold opioids knowing very well the consequences but hiding them? Or the big polluters? Hospitals refusing healthcare to those who don't have a MS employee healthcare plan? Ads companies hoarding user data to act against citizen rights? And the list can be far longer.

If you start such wars, you can't have double standards. And actually, you should start by not working for Microsoft at all....
