As you watch looting (both small scale in shops and large scale by your government) become more and more prevalent, ponder this quote from The Law, written by Frédéric Bastiat:

“Wherever plunder is less burdensome than labor, it prevails… When does plunder cease, then? When it becomes more burdensome and more dangerous than labor.”

I’m going to do a #BitcoinOutLoud read of the book soon because it should be required reading.

So basically if it is easier to lie and cheat than to work for it , people will lie and cheat . That sounds obvious , people should say things out loud more often.
