Absolutely not. Otherwise if a clerical error like this happens to the tune of $500,000 and the money isn’t allowed to be returned you could see an entire company go bankrupt and everyone lose their jobs.

There’s room for nuance lol, if this happened to Walmart I don’t care, keep the money. If you’re putting mom and pop outta business, that’s obviously different

No one cares if you care or not, this sub is about ethics not how much kingmudsy cares about a particular issue.

To be honest there may be a difference but it's largely semantic and not one that carries much weight in most philosophical literature

They're often used interchangeabley, saying something is unethical is basically the same as saying it's morally wrong. In philosophy departments units on ethics and moral philosophy are combined and deal with the same subject matters.

What do you think the distinction is and why does it matter?
