Risk / reward

Nobody should ever think in absolutes regarding these topics, only consequences, specifically the value of those consequences.

Of course consequentialism is a two way street, like, is a potential $100 fine because an employer asked a personal question in an interview a deterrent?

For an employee though, the stakes are technically way higher, but do you want that $3 million house or not.
