All of my encounters with individuals who feel liberal arts are useless and STEM is the way seem to, at their core, feel that way because of earning potential

You were saying a group of people believe that value as a person is determined by their contributions to STEM fields and finance.

Now you're saying that this group of people believe that value as a person is determined by earnings potential. Those are not the same things.

a person's intrinsic value and overall value to society is not determined by their contributions to STEM fields and finance

I don't think anyone who views contributions in STEM fields as the most valuable to society has any respect for finance.

Verizon got caught installing spy hardware for the government in phone data centers in the mid-90's.

There was no Verizon until 2000. It might have been Bell Atlantic.
