I really don't know how to respond to this. It sounds like you are saying that it's ok to make a mess because we are providing work for someone? Is that the gist of it? That logic is so flawed I can't believe you actually said that. If I may be so bold to extend your logic out a bit further.

1. littering at the local park or nature reserve is ok, because you are providing someone a job to clean up after you.

2. speeding/reckless driving is your civic duty because it allows the state trooper to keep their job.

3. Allow companies to ruin the environment b/c it gives the EPA a reason to exist.

Does any of that make sense? It should not in our society. Believe me the folks who work at the dome have more than enough to do after an event like ours. They don't have to pick up airplanes to feed their families.

maybe we, in the FIRST community, need to work on changing our own culture before we work on society's...

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
