- hermannj314 7mo agoSome laws represent moral truths and some laws represent the attempt of a prior generation's upper class to protect that wealth. The willingess to break a bad law is a sign of a good person.
- fragmede 7mo agoJust because a law is bad doesn't mean breaking it is a good thing. The laws against gambling are bad, but that's because they're too loose, not because they're too strict. Breaking those laws to gamble doesn't make gambling a good thing.
- suddenlybananas 7mo agoYeah illegally running a cab is basically the same thing as being Rosa Parks.
- hermannj314 7mo agoCorrect. While ride-sharing services aren't perfect, they have significantly reduced rates of service refusals and long-wait times based on race.
- amelius 7mo agoBy that argument, start a company selling fentanyl because there will be demand for it? Sorry, but your implied argument is flawed.
- hermannj314 7mo agoYou might have to hold my hand on how you got there. My actual argument was the ride-sharing addressed systemic racism that yellow cab companies did not, that is a good thing. What net good would fentanyl do to society? If it exists, then yes, sell it. Clean, reliable fentanyl might be a good thing, I don't know.
- amelius 7mo ago> hold my hand The fentanyl using part of society thinks it is great. There you go.
