It only takes a few assholes left unchecked to ruin it for the rest of us.

  There are many unchecked assholes, yet things are not ruined! Lots of stuff still delivered by Amazon via train, in fact!

      "I don't have what I want so imma throw a tantrum and take it" is how we expect toddlers to behave. When it comes to grown men we should have higher standards in society. Most are perfectly capable of not committing armed robbery even if they aren't rich.

        "I have everything I need and more, but despite you asking you can't have it" is how we expect people who never learned how to share to act. When it comes to grown men we should have higher standards in society!

        You know why he used it. We all do, we just don't want to say it for fear of thought police or because we have internalized racism.

      How inequality force people to abandon work and do crime? Property and violent crime is caused by lack of enforcement. In Monaco inequality is huge, but crime levels low.

      Property and violent crime is predominantly caused by economic inequality combined with weak law enforcement. It's not just that the percieved reward is increasing, it's that the risk appears to be decreasing.

  A few assholes, and a few apathetic (or encouraging!) people who won't engage in the anti-social behaviour, but cultivate it.
