I dont think its hipocrisy, these are the rules of the game we live in, play to your advantage while trying to build something better. Every home loan is creating money out of thin air, I wouldnt advise anyone stand on principle and not buy a house just because of the immoral incentives around it.

I agree here with these house examples.

But it can be a slippery slope, and there is a time and place for choosing the principled approach over playing the game becomes too corrupt.

It's a scale with slippery slope.

Especially because *they* won't start actively penalizing the wrong behaviors, they will just keep increasingly subsidizing the pre-approved behaviors (while making alternative choices too costly for most of the people).

I dont prescribe this in how you deal with others, its why for all the shit people talk about amazon IDGAF, every other company in the area was firing the unvaccinated, amazon kept the bills paid in the most stressful time of my life. All im saying is when the government is dropping helicopter money, so long as you arent selling your own soul for it, dont waste the opportunity.
