In case you were wondering, it’s a “moral hazard” as in the author saw those two words together once and figured they just mean a moral bad-thing. It’s not a moral hazard in the sense of economics.
- staticautomatic 7y agoYeah. Moral Hazard has a specific meaning in the social sciences and this isn't it.
- lowdose 7y agoNormally it is a specific agency problem and apparently the author does not refer to economics. This is kind of journalism signals bad practice more than forgetting to run an article through a spell checker. Or is this the new clickbait i.e. create controversy at every costs as in Game of thrones way? Either way applying such a "smart" clicktrick a second time and the outlet is duly noted on my blacklist. Would be awesome if hn would give the option to also apply my own blacklist.
