the greed for power, greed for possesion people who pull fish up in iran that have 80lbs of cavier in their bellies (the fish) are payed three dollars per fish, tops, the cavier is then salted, and packaged on sight, and then exported and sold for an incredible profit now this would be "okay" at least within the means of vaguely morally acceptable if the fish weren't the size of the boats they are pulled into, quite a few people a year die this way for three dollar fish do you know what the highest deaths per capita job in the world is? tuna fisherman on a particular body of water (I can't remember what it is) and this is including jobs such as police officers and infantrymen in any given military in the world all of this because of money union leaders are killed to keep businesses from having to pay slightly higher wages, give a few more sick days and these are just the direct correlations....
So, people who want to be successful are evil? I'm done with this conversation...you're just being unreasonable.
I read every bit of it. You didn't put any thought into it did you? Because people can raise prices of things to get profit they're evil? Oh, and it's Alaskan Crab fishing that is the deadliest.
so I can sell 1\3 of a pound, i.e. 1/24th of the one fish's cavier for 80 dollars, then give the people who are risking their lives 3 dollars for the entire fish..... yeah, that's not evil at all.....
when it's their only percieved way to make money? they may not be choosing it as cleanly as you think the world is black and white in concept, but in life, things get far more greyscale.......
