Not sure you want to use VW for current morality. What with the whole “constantly getting caught trying to skirt emission standards and other legal minimums that cost them money to hold to”
For me, it was realizing that while I was smart, the shit level of schooling was more an impediment to me gaining the skills needed to continue excelling and I continue to be surrounded by absolute dipshits wherever I go.
In school, I didn’t have to study to pass and there was no real incentive to learn how to. This bit me when it came to university because the lectures didn’t cover everything that was to be tested on. Turns out, trying is a skill I never needed until then.
Then, in the workforce, I’m constantly exhausted dealing with people who are at best functionally literate and I have to cater to their understanding of literally everything. No desire to either understand the problem or fix the root cause, just make the thing do what they want right then.
While yes they’re no longer on the actively shooting babies in the face level bad, I’m not sure they’re a good example of a moral company is my point
More moral than the thin skinned Nazi nepo baby sure but that’s a low bar
Pushing EV today is just following the market trends and not strictly a moral choice
