My thought for the day: the difference in response to unethical vs immoral behavior.
Immoral behavior violates social laws and norms, and it is punishable. Unethical behavior transcends societal norms and expectations, and it is seldom punishable except in narrow cases. Best to shun.

While justification is to open the field for businesses to compete, the immediate, proximate effects will be to cause degradation of system safety and a widespread decline in system testing. Why? Because #Trumpovich does not consider safety or security to be worthwhile.
