I mean you can have morals, but in Canada grocery stores are making record profit while more people than ever go to the food bank. I get profit margins, but Costco lowered theirs to keep their prices similar. It's nice to have morals as an individual but companies to do not have morals, so you are a person with morals vs a company with no morals ( by law, thanks investors), the entity with no morals will take advantage of the entity with morals.

At what point are we going to stop letting businesses squeeze people for necessities?

At what point is stealing bad then. If you can justify stealing from a store because they have more money than you than it isn't a huge step that you can steel from anyone that's better off.

Thats the thing about morals. Not everyone's are the same. 

To some stealing from a store is no big deal because the store has money and they are fine with it.

To others it's fine to rob rich people at gun point because they have more money than they have and they are fine with it.

When you start doing a bad thing even for good reasons it's still a bad thing and causes a slippery slope on what's ok and what's not.

Does it matter if the company has no morals and you do? Nope. What matters if you're good with it. 

That's what integrity is. Doing the right thing when no one is watching. 

I have two kids and I would be out there begging before I steal anything. I will humble myself to the point do any work I could. I don't go robbing walmart. That might be a generational thing I guess.
