#public-relations — Public Fediverse posts

Overheard the end of somebody else's lecture yesterday. The class is called "Public Relations." On the screen was a poll. "Would you refuse a client's request due to ethical reasons?" Yes or No. A minority chose no, and the lecturer asked them to justify their answers.

A young male volunteered immediately that "You might need the business." The lecturer agreed. End of discussion.

Training an industry of whores.
