Is there a legitimate way to make money without working for it? If yes, that would be some form of robbery, in my opinion.If you think about it, even robbery requires working for it, as the stakes are higher, so can be the rewards.
I'm not justifying such acts, but just saying that sadly some kids these days think there's "free money" thanks to the political parties and some stupid ideologies that only care about power, messing up the society, economics and morals along the way.
You mention inflation, and yes it is exactly a byproduct of these policies that infested the social sphere in many countries around the world since a long time.
Hooking up half the society with "free money" and getting the votes they want in return.
Who to blame really? Those naive kids (who most likely came from a morally destroyed family) committing atrocities for a get rich quick schemes, or the "smart people" who "thought" they gained some also "free money" and vote a self serving bunch of thieves and psychopaths into offices who keep reinforcing their agendas?
If something is "free", then people should know that THEY are the product that is being sold!
Thank you for that thought provoking post, and sorry if I turned it into some political rant 😛
