We have totally debased selling out. Back in my day Enron energy traders got a $50k bonus for turning off the power to "Grandma Millie" and making their bosses millions. Now a Gen Z kid would do it for only $1k!
To be fair in the old days they were considered human scum, but the bar for that has really fallen in the last couple of decades.
Something needs to be done about this - laws need to be better enforced when it comes to scams, culture needs to be steered in the direction of having empathy for others, and values need to be changed such that you can make lots of money by genuinely improving the world. As of now, all of these get rich quick schemes are either non functioning or come at direct detriment to everyone else.
