I 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.

  A 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.

    That’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.

      Sorry, this is not an argument. There are things that can be illegal and/or immoral (loan sharking is both), even though there are "no better options". This is not how to build a sustainable society, and is one of the issues causing so many problem in today's society.
