Never tell a business partner to change.

One of the problems of society is that it is driven by economic
interests, and more often than not, the interests which govern behavior
are those of megacorporations (employers) instead of individuals. We
should resist corporate control. That means, among other things,
resisting the pressure of proprietary software developers.

You may find yourself in a situation where you are muzzled of
complaining about things that you disagree with (because they *are* in
fact wrong) because of your job but that is just a symptom, the sickness
is that you have a bad job. The real way to fix that is to no to *place
yourself* in such a position where taking such a job *appears
necessary*; it is a matter of planning and making a conscious *effort*.

And letting your children go hungry if necessary.  Principles matter more.

Having children in the first place when one is subject to a muzzling or otherwise abusive job is a *perfect example of what I am talking about*. People usually reason backwards in examples like this: First they *chose* to have children, then they "justify" something questionable to themselves or to somebody else with the excuse that they have children, as if it was some fact of life like having to eat or breathe, while in fact, that is no justification, because whoever does this has put himself by his own decision into the situation where he "has" to do that questionable activity in the first place, and therefore has chosen to do that questionable activity (or is guilt of doing without thinking).
