      Well, what is the context of "good IT" in this scenario?

      Is it good IT as in simply doing IT the "right" and "proper" way?

      Is it good IT as in doing good IT for good causes (like philanthropic organizations)?

        That's my question. I think I would rather work for a philanthropic organization rather then one that has unlimited money but questionable business practices.

          I'll take the unlimited budget, please. Someone said it makes it too easy. I like easy. Almost feels like cheating? Perfect, I'll take all of that, too. Unlimited money, so that I can set my job up well enough to practically do itself... challenge accepted!!

          So you can farm out your job?

            Is this question being asked from an employee perspective or MSP perspective?

              If I can still get paid for it? Why not??

                If cost isn't a factor our jobs can literally be picking up a phone and saying yes to everything. Why not?

                      I was actually thinking more about automation than a person, but whatever fits. If I can get paid to do nothing, I'm all over that!

                          Infinite work force doesn't mean there is enough space to grow that much food. Even if there was staff to work that much farm space.

                                  Sadly, the truth is that there is already way more than enough food to feed the world with no trouble at all. It's government corruption and greed that perpetuate hunger, not remotely anything to do with a lack of food.

                                    I'll take the unlimited budget, please. Someone said it makes it too easy. I like easy. Almost feels like cheating? Perfect, I'll take all of that, too. Unlimited money, so that I can set my job up well enough to practically do itself... challenge accepted!!

                                    So you can farm out your job?

                                    If I can still get paid for it? Why not??

                                    If cost isn't a factor our jobs can literally be picking up a phone and saying yes to everything. Why not?

                                    Or, its broke, I called a tech and get back to browsing the net.

                                    I was actually thinking more about automation than a person, but whatever fits. If I can get paid to do nothing, I'm all over that!

                                    Infinite funding, infinite work force. Let's end world hunger.

                                    Infinite work force doesn't mean there is enough space to grow that much food. Even if there was staff to work that much farm space.

                                    Sadly, the truth is that there is already way more than enough food to feed the world with no trouble at all. It's government corruption and greed that perpetuate hunger, not remotely anything to do with a lack of food.

                                    I'd say more general corruption and greed. Government just shows it more because who's going to call them to account?

                                      I noted governments specifically because they hold much of the power. Of course even a governing body is still made up of people, so yeah, it's all greedy people, all the way.

                                        Seeing that I have been working for a company that all they had was a tight budget, I would like to see it on the other side of the fence for a while.

                                        Yeah, after working in the Falklands where money was tight an downloads weren't really an option (plus 2/3 weeks shipping on anything) it was a lot of making things work in any way possible, with the minimum cost and time spent...so I'd like to be able to do the opposite and have unlimited funds to get everything needed etc
