MODERATORS
A lot of it is because of need. The lower rungs of our society have been pushed to the point where the risk of being caught and jailed is less of a driver than hunger. The social fabric is unravelling. I just hired someone and I’m giving them a living wage and I’m getting suspicion in return.
That and, arguably being in prison is better for someone than going hungry. You get clothes, 3 meals a day, and a shower.
