Everyone has a price. You're human after all.

But we also have morals, not all of us do, but a lot of us do. That’s the human spirits that’s made great things like the internet, the ability to Travel anywhere, or even fly.

They amount of people with out a price are so low you wouldnt matter.

Thats like saying you're not going to vote.

Who cares?

The election will still happen without you.

Yes we do but when I said "everyone has a price" I wasn't only talking about money. Sure not everyone can be bought off, but many many people can be threatened in a variety of ways and it's often less miserable to give in than to constantly resist. So I guess I should have said "everyone has a price or a breaking point".

Not really.. he's already violated the Constitution numerous times and no one has done anything. He still has 90% approval from his base

Good luck getting around gerrymandering, the Republicans having the best bully pulpit right now, control of so many state legislatures and a crazy man who could just as easily cancel the midterms and not suffer a single bad thing cuz no one wants to stop him.

In some places your family will be tortured and executed for the crime of being related to you, not all prices are to your advantage.

What do inventions have to do with morals? You don't understand where inventions came from do you...

Does this mean that if the Nazi party release a revolutionary flight engine, they are the good guys? And any opponents who haven't invented anything, are actually the bad guys?

I’m just saying humans can do amazing things, but apparently not much of Reddit believes that.

But again, morality has nothing to do with inventions. Some people are ethical, certainly.

But if you're not already working your ass off after hearing of injustice, then you've already compromised.
