Yes, culture is primary. (though I'm confused by the rest of that paragraph) The Banality of Systemic Evil: https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/15/the-banality-of-systemic-evil/ https://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/15/the-banalit... It's sad that thoughts such as yours and mine get downvoted. Even an Upton Sinclair quote that no one can honestly disagree with gets downvoted, all because we're touching on people's comfy lives and self-esteem.

Again, it's easy to say 'quit your job' when you're a 20-something living in a group apartment, with no family, and no real responsibilities, in San Francisco and a new job is more or less a few phone calls away. It's quite another when you're providing for a household, with family with medical issues, shouldering debt and just making the ends meet, which is a much more common situation to find yourself in, here in the States at least. And that's not to say I wouldn't be finding a new job, but again, I wouldn't have to find a job, nor would my boss be pressuring me to do this sort of unethical stuff, if the unethical stuff was simply made illegal. Settles the matter entirely. Will there be bad actors skirting those regulations? Of course, there always are, but laws don't stop 100% of bad activity and that's never stopped us from trying.
