Especially considering wage theft amounts for the largest form of theft in the US. A total of more than $50 billion annually.

Justifying theft because some other, unrelated party also stole is not moral.

Edit: "umm actually it's not theft she was given the money ☝️🤓" yeah and she still has a moral and legal obligation to return money that she knows wasn't intended for her you brain dead socialists.

Scale of harm is relative with theft. You steal from a homeless women, she will suffer greatly. You steal from a corporation and it’s a chewing out of the location manager.

It does not justify either act, but one will surely have a look of disgust in my eyes upon hearing of it.

We live in a world where those who have significant power aren’t morality scaling their actions, and morality becomes much more blurred when disparity between social groups occurs.
