This is such a SJW argument. What are you doing to help any of those people? Adobe does charitable giving and employee matching for donations/volunteered time for up to 10k/month per employee. last year Adobe gave over 6 million dollars to various charities as a result of this program. They're only able to do that if they are making money and innovating.

I'm not saying Adobe is a great company or anything, but they have done and are doing more to help disadvantaged people than you'll likely ever be able to accomplish, and their ability to do that is dependent on their business being successful.

Is this a waste of resources? Perhaps, but they aren't responsible for solving the world's issues, any they are contributing. What have you done? From what I understand, you could contribute more to the people you're describing by applying and working for Adobe rather than criticizing them.

For one, not argue against them like you're doing right now. Like it or not, I can't solve these problems myself. Discussion and sharing of ideas is necessary to put solutions into action and change culture.

Sorry that needs to be spelled out for you, but you're clearly someone who thinks wealth should never be criticized.

Gonna block you now. Goodbye.

Running away because I struck a little too close to home?
