Wernher Von Braun knew of and saw the existence of slave labor for his V2 rockets and was brought to the US and then celebrated. In both his role in Germany and in the US it was considered "national security".
Having darker skin and living in a high latitude, especially one where it's not always sunny and inviting to be outside in short sleeves/shorts can lead to this. I am outside a lot, but far enough north that soon I will not get any Vitamin D from the sun - I take a daily supplement, it's cheap insurance. Costco sells 600 for $12.50.
Tangent: SRE was very color-heavy and that led to some long ANSI sequences. From the recently decompiled source [1] you can see that I tried to pick shorter ANSI sequences when I could. In particular, going from color 0x0* to 0x1* we could save 1 byte, and going back to the default white on black we could save between 1 and 4 bytes. But if you're bandwidth limited there's also an option to turn off color entirely.
I have also seen a lot of retirements in the last 18 months. You combine the stock market being on a tear with a paradigm shift in how we work and it's not surprising.
