I don't. Look, we already had this discussion years ago. You don't feel bad for the stormtrooper, or their families when you blow up the deathstar. They knew what they were getting into.
Stormtroopers is fair. What about maintenance staff?
What about prisoners?
Does Elon Musk profit off slave labor from prisoners?
Considering the mining industries for many of the rare earth metals needed? Yeah he does.
Plus there's the whole apartheid emerald slave mine thing, which is how daddy made the money he got to play with.
I don't think any of those people are being relocated to Texas.
Lucky for them, eh?
