It feels awfully political when I know my job is supporting a company that donates heavily to causes and people I despise. Fortunately, I'm not in that position currently (but I have been), but I'm looking hard for jobs and one of the companies I applied at asked if I've ever previously been employed by Koch or its affiliates and I have to say it's a hard fucking choice between putting food on my family's table vs. supporting fucking Koch. Not that most of them don't donate to bad people but those fucking guys?
