Because society needs feel good stories right now. I am not even joking. You probably did not realize how close to the abyss we have come last week. In practical terms, people suck when they are scared and hungry.

I rarely go for pop culture references, but it is very much applicable here:

“Their morals, their code; it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be."

And I am saying all this annoyed at the fact that I will be one of the people having to pay massive tax increases that will have to pay for all this.
