Back in the day, when politicians still had a sense of humor

Wouldn't poor people have more motivation to steal than people who are already rich?
When you're already rich, it's not usually referred to as stealing. Also, having money shields you from the consequences of nearly all actions, so the rich always have a greater incentive to steal. Hope this helps!

Because it’s easier than working full time for it, albeit with much more risk. This is meaning those with no moral compass influence on decisions

Big business makes money based on MANY TECHNIQUES. Im not going to hand hold you lot to your own already decided conclusions. The already deflated market is plundered by large corps who are enabled by our bought and payed for gubbament officials.

Manipulation of human nature by large corps is well understood. If you dont agree it is these insidious arsehole actions by predatory cunts that you agree with and would do, given the chance.

Its ok if you wanna be arseholes as long as you dont get a chance to affect me. Unfortunately, it does, both directly and indirectly. I may not be struggling but those around me some are so im limited in my activities cuz others' lack of liquid funds.

Online gambling. Easy one click sign ups to online services with IMPOSSIBLY CONVOLUTED opt out systems. Attention (and data) gathering social media platforms that make it even easier to milk us.

The list is long. My patience is not. Someone already mentioned this. Those who see no problem with predatory billionaire activities allow it as long as they have a one in a bazzillion chance of doing the same.

So long, fuckers.

Ok the first part is want and the other part is need.

So there's two.
