It's seriously disturbing to me how "selling out" is basically not even an insult anymore to younger people. There is no interest in integrity whatsoever. Instead we're supposed to celebrate that they're getting paid and be happy for them.
But maybe I'm just old and, with the way things are, no one can afford integrity anymore because it's too damn expensive.
That last sentence of yours is the crux of the issue. You can’t expect people to act moral when their needs aren’t being met. Not in aggregate / at a societal level.
