"Don't know. Too much of the modern economics for me, for there's surely more to life than just wages."

Oh shit, Nate! Look out! Lew might be one of them artist types and you know how socialist and communistic they can be! Something more to life than wages?! Holy Revelations, Reverend Batman!
Imagine choosing a job based on other criteria than wages? Like whether or not by taking the job you're causing more harm than good? And then imagine taking a job that causes harm in the world, not explicitly done by you because you were, I don't know, filing or something, and being judged by the rest of the world afterward and thinking, "But I was just filing papers for the guy who exterminated six million Jewish people!" Imagine not having a backbone or the sense of justice to refuse to take a job that pays well if the place of business is harmful to the world in some way? Sure, I can see filing for Hitler for a bit, thinking maybe a change is needed, and possibly letting your optimism cloud the reality before you. But to stay in that job the entire time, probably just thinking, "Well, my family and I are safe and we're doing pretty good by Adolf!"
Just imagine that! Now imagine the final sentence of that last sentence but replace "Adolf" with "Donald."
