OK, I understand you all are being utilitarian about this, and I appreciate the perspective.
And it's unfortunate that this guy lost his job, and he might also have a hard time finding new work because he's a snitch.
Now, this is a bit tangential to the article, but I'm having a hard time accepting that our financial system is so blatantly corrupt that individuals within the system are expected to behave poorly, and we rely on cash payments to root out crimes. It doesn't sit well. Am I being naive?
- romwell 5y agoYes.
- smabie 5y agoWe rely on cash payments for other things to, like info about criminals and such. Why should we expect people to do hard things unless they are in their best interest? Regardless of morality, that's just how people are. This isn't about finance being rotten, it's about that to get people to do what you want, you have to reward them. This is what bonuses are about, what giving treats to dogs for good behavior is about, etc.
