You agree that loan sharks are immoral, but when banks do the same they're not immoral? It's literally the same behavior, but in a way that is "blessed" by the government (which includes bribery, I mean lobbying).
Hopefully it made people think about the current corrupt system we live in. They put band aids on the problems they have, without addressing the actual underlying causes, which means that things won't get solved.
- beervirus 6y agoI didn’t agree that loan sharks are immoral. Even a loan shark makes his borrowers strictly better off by giving them an option they otherwise wouldn’t have.
- apta 6y agoA loan shark makes his money literally by feeding off the poor, I don't see how that is not immoral. The moment a proper support system is in place, they'll disappear.
- beervirus 6y agoThat’s hardly his fault. And if the loan shark weren’t there providing his service, his clients would be strictly worse off. He’s not forcing them to borrow money—he’s offering, and they’re free to say no.
