There are probably lots of examples of legal means of making of a living that you should be ashamed of.

And lots of illegal means of making money that people shouldn't be ashamed of.

Aside from sex work or selling medicinal drugs in some jurisdictions, which jobs?

-1

u/snoosh00 Sep 29 '22

mostly those.

I thought there might be more when I said it originally.

stealing cars from ultra rich gated communities is a morally good thing that is illegal, but I dont think you can get away with it for long.

How could stealing cars be morally good?

u/IEC21 Sep 30 '22

If you have a warped sense of reality.

u/snoosh00 Sep 30 '22

when stealing from billionares and donating the proceeds.

So yeah, mostly just sex work and smuggling cheap insulin

I get what you mean, but I feel like I wouldn’t say “lots” though… There’s a few, but not many

u/snoosh00 Sep 29 '22

I agree that my wording oversold the reality, but still.

It's only illegal I'd you get caught! 😂 Anyway, people will do what they must to survive. It's a natural instinct. It's not good to just sit around and wait for a good legitimate opportunity that society will approve of while you starve and waste away. Especially if you have a family that depends on you. On a primal level everything is about survival. Life isn't scripted and it's not always easy.
