And considering carcinogens specifically, they're so ubiquitous in modern life in various tiny quantities that eliminating credible risks becomes an exhausting goose chase.
There's a lot to appreciate about Stallman, but as an ideologue, he's never going to prioritize a gentle & incremental articulation of his ideas. We could call it a failure to empathize, but you see ideologues all over undermining their communication by making it as distilled & radical as possible.

That makes it hard to come out of your office to accomplish a specific task, like grabbing coffee or visiting the restroom. Then your attention's not free game, and you still have to sneak around.
You're getting downvoted, but I just want to let you know that you're absolutely right. It's a very adolescent thing to reduce life-meaning down to career, and project one's angst onto everybody else. I'm all for finding a way to enjoy the 1/3 of life that is your career, but the "wake up sheeple" alarmism is not higher vision, it's a failure to see both the restrictions of a scarce economy and the joys of family and responsibility.
Amazon made $2.62 billion in the last quarter, and $3.5 billion the quarter before that.
Amazon makes a ton of money, and (quite transparently I might add) they plow a lot of their earnings from some of their businesses into investing into their other businesses, which is what most investors want.
This is completely different from Uber and Lyft, where it's not clear that their profit potential supports their current valuations.
It’s not entirely about profit, but I would argue you have to show a profit, or, demonstrate you could show a profit like Amazon has, to be considered a “top company” in any sense.
