It's so refreshing to hear today's youth recognize that the profit is the highest ethic we can aspire to.

After years of difficult math and physics, it can be easy to forget that the most important equation: More Money = Good!

More Money = Good! Yes! Exactly! How do people fail to grasp this!?

I believe the parent was missing a `/s`, and was in fact pointing out how a profit driven ethic is actually quite ruinous.

I don't see how that comment was indicating how optimal action is ruinous; but more importantly its words ring true at face value.

I can't speak for the parent. But to me it's obvious at face value that the best choice ethically is not necessarily the choice with the most monetary gain as you seem to argue. Exploiting the incarcerated for personal gain falls into that category IMO.

In my experience, there are many opportunities to make a quick buck in life, but taking those opportunities doesn't necessarily lead to a better the world, and can very often make it worse.

If your only concern in life is getting mo' money, don't be surprised when you have plenty of money but a lack of meaningful relationships and personal fulfillment.
