I would have guessed the “Tar Sands” area being an incredibly massive source of air pollution, but I guess I wasn’t considering wild-fires role in the matter.

I kinda feel like this, too, but unlike when I first began working in games, I now have a family to take care of.

Also I like the 2x pay, relatively higher job stability, and overall work-life balance with basically zero crunch… so assuming nothing changes in the games industry, it looks like my stepping away from making games starting 11 years ago is still a permanent move.

Correct. We actually used to have MUCH higher taxes for corporations where all the write offs had to do with improvements to employee lives.

The idea was - either businesses should spend money on making things better for their employees or Uncle Sam will via taxing them.
