If it was simply that though - overt cash for compliance - I wouldn't feel so angry. It's the exuded sense of superiority - "The cash is because we're such great people" rather than an acknowledged payoff for socially negative duties.
- perl4ever 7y agoWhen people talk about this sort of thing, it's always with the tone that people ought to be paid more for doing good. But if people had to be paid more for doing good, on average, that would mean most people preferred doing bad things! Which would be bad and mean most people would be evil. Doing the right thing being costly isn't a thing that just happens to be true of our imperfect society, it's an unavoidable logical consequence of distinguishing between "right" and "profitable". Convince me I'm wrong.
