So, if you are proved to be poor or hungry (whatever that means), does it give you a green light to steal? Maybe, let's say, steal 10 times a day from 10 different shops, and resell the goods for half the price and use the money for something else?
I mean that's a lovely headline and all, but in startups lingo, it doesn't scale.

- celticninja 10y agoNot sure what you are trying to say.
- sageikosa 10y agoI'm OK with that
- celticninja 10y agoSure if someone wants to go to that effort they could, but be honest those people are stealing right now, this isn't going to drive a whole new group of individuals to go and steal food. Its like that law in one of the South American countries that breaking out of jail itself is not a crime because of our desire to be free, in the same way stealing food in the face of hunger and starvation is just an expression of our instinct to survive.
