I finally hit a moral snag with a shortcut request on a slab job

My crew lead asked me to use less rebar than the specs called for to save time and money. I knew it would make the concrete weaker over the long run, but he said it was fine. I went along with it, but now I feel pretty bad about it. Have you ever had a similar choice to make? What's the right move here for a finisher?

Tbh, winning felt empty after that.

Hot take: I flipped on whether aquariums are good for fish

The Georgia Aquarium's whale shark tank gave me the same vibe. I spent whole afternoons there, but later heard about the stress from constant filtration noise. Kinda like what @davis.leo said, picturing the fish pissed off by all the pumps. Still, teaching kids about ocean life is huge, so it's a real gray area.
