>>which allows free trades at slightly more expensive prices
so they arent free, its priced in. Not criminal, but misleading and could be construed as corrupt.
>> t's arguable that pharmaceutical rebates are bribery, so is the pharma industry criminal?
are the rebates helping to push a drug that they know to be addictive? if its not criminal, it should be.
>> College football coaches make millions while professors become starving adjuncts, is academia criminal?
and college athletes get no pay, but a very "strings attached" education, in which many end up going to bed hungry, which basically amounts to indentured servitude if not slavery
- seibelj 8y agoI’ve found that going down the path of being outraged at large fractions of society, such as industries / politics / belief systems, is extremely tiresome and makes you permanently angry at the world. More nuance can give you a healthier outlook, or you risk forever throwing rocks at a mountain.
- sharkmerry 8y agoYou arent giving nuance. Your just acting as a contrarian, interpreting the original comment literally, then pedantically responding. thats not helping a discussion
- seibelj 8y agoI personally do not think the financial industry, nor wall st in particular, is a bastion of criminality that all of us should automatically hate as educated people.
