So much money wasted modifying all these documents.
For them, it's worth the cost for greater good.
For them, it’s worth the cost for greater ~~good~~ harm.
They don't care about the greater good. They care about causing as much harm as they can.
Uh causing as much harm as possible is their greater good
Look at all this cancel culture….
