I love the term "Moral Hazard" because it only applies to poor people. If you are hungry and need food stamps tisk tisk tisk "Moral Hazard" why arent you selling you body or scrubbing my floors. If you just lost half a billion dollars in a real estate casino scheme - well clearly thats not your fault and you need a bailout.

I almost never use the food delivery apps but every time Uber Eats has a coupon, I use it and remind my daughter that 20% + of your meal was brought to you by stupid VC and Saudi money and it would be wrong not to take their stupid money. Maybe im just weird like that. My wife on the other hand wont take her hard eared unemployment bailout dollars because she believes in that shit dispute the fact that we will be paying it back 10x over the next decade.
