    I expect many of them have spent their lives so immersed in capitalist indoctrination that they genuinely have no idea others view their activities as exploitation and a bad thing. To them, accumulating wealth through whatever means you can is just what you do. And they tend to think that anyone who doesn’t do this is just a bit stupid and hasn’t figured out what life is about. Don’t underestimate their narrow-minded blinkeredness.

      Perhaps they have stopped thinking critically and believe that whatever is legal is ethical.

      I’ll save them some time: The entire for-profit insurance, prison, and banking industries are unethical.
