Welp you're right: Maslow's.
Re breaking rules: I think it is more of a spectrum. As you become richer, you become more able to follow the 'nicer' rules. Poor people generally don't go around murdering for example, but I did see a lot of relatively smaller rules broken.
I am sure there is a very human mix of laziness, mob mentality, corruption that feed into it - but his meta point is still true: Some rules are meant for privileged people.
Unless the party line is that 'you should be willing to die for your morals': There are very few who live by this and I admire them a lot. But I like a more practical approach to life - meaning the above anecdote consoles me.

- kops 6y agoThankfully there is this virus going around and we can all see the correlation between the wealth of the people and their propensity to break rules.
- andi999 6y agoWhat correlation do you observe? Where i am, it seems all rich and poor follow the rules (with some minor exceptions). I mean makes sense who wants to get sick?

This shows how difficult it is for the common man to follow the rules. I am sure the rich people in Mumbai are following social distancing.
