congruent with mood




Analogue 1: Child Security Service
I agree to babysit kids for a fee. After the parents leave the kids in my care, I rent them out to strangers for whatever purpose (petty labor or just so the strangers can pretend to be parents). How would you react when you learned what I was doing with your kids? So far, everyone of whom Iapos;ve asked this has reported that they would be shocked and outraged, and they further assured me that offering to share the profits of this business would not convince them to co-operate with it.

Analogue 2: Home Security Service
I agree to guard homes for a fee. After the homeowners leave their houses in my care, I rent them out to strangers for whatever purpose (parties, secret romantic meetings, drug deals, etc). How would you react when you learned what I was doing with your home? So far, everyone of whom Iapos;ve asked this has reported that they would be shocked and outraged, and they further assured me that offering to share the profits of this business would not convince them to co-operate with it.

Analogue 3: Vehicle Security Service
I agree to guard autos for a fee. After the vehicle owners leave their vehicles in my care, I rent them out to strangers for whatever purposes (dates, run errands, haul furniture, joy rides, etc). How would you react when you learned what I was doing with your home? So far, everyone of whom Iapos;ve asked this has reported that they would be shocked and outraged, and they further assured me that offering to share the profits of this business would not convince them to co-operate with it.

Real World: Money Security Service
I agree to guard money for a fee. After the money owners leave their money in my care, I rent it out to strangers for whatever purposes (buy a house, buy a car, pay for school, etc). You see the patten here, right? Same business. The only difference from one to the next is the valuable Iapos;m (allegedly) securing, but for some reason, what is shocking and outrageous when done with children, houses and vehicles is standard practice for money. Thatapos;s the banking industry. Thatapos;s what it does.

So when and why did people ever agree to these shenanigans?
