crime has short term certainty with long term uncertainty. a legitimate job has short term uncertainty with long term certainty. its stupid silly and dangerous way to view it as an escape from your current job situation.

I don't know why people keep whining about job markets. I'm currently working 3 different remote jobs each past 200k/yr point

my total salary is close to 800k. if one of them fires me i can easily hop to another job. I've been doing this for well over a year now and everybody is happy.

there's really no need to justify criminal behavior when legitimate options are in front of you and you are too lazy, weak willed to see the upside.
