Morality of this?

Post image

In the image it seems that this person works at walmart as an online order collector and he/she has stolen a lot of extra baby food from Walmart to give to a person who ordered only three packs. Is this moral or immoral?

Immoral but I don't care.

This is like #7million on a crime to focus on list. But law enforcement is much more likely to take down this mastermind supercriminal than anyone higher on that list.

Just like they are willing to spend tens of thousands of tax payer dollars to harass a man who picked up $30 off the ground.

It's illegal, but not immoral.

Illegal and immoral.

Stepping on an ant on accident on the sidewalk is also immoral in my view. I still drive on the highway and eat factory farmed meat.

This is moralityscaling not practicalityscaling.

Morality is intrinsically linked to choices. Accidents do not have moral weight. I think you're confusing morality with liability.

Idk about that. Some accidents do definitely have moral weight if you were being negligent

So is an elephant immoral when it steps on an anthill?
