Comment on YC founder points out that jobs exist outside of working for police stateparent

Nobody. A company like Palantir doesn't need to exist and people don't need to work for it.

Does everyone in the country agree with this sentiment? I have a feeling people might still apply. :/

If 50% of engineers choose not to work for Palantir for ethical reasons, they have to hire from a reduced talent pool. The company will have to pay more for talented engineers but can probably still succeed. If 90%-99% of engineers refuse to work for them, they're going to have a much harder time of it.

I would assume maybe 1% have read this tweet and maybe 20% would refuse to with them
