Do people no longer understand what a contract is?
I'm floored by the number of people who are angry when they decide to cancel their service before the two year contract is up and then, as they agreed to, are required to pay an early termination fee....
What you’re seeing is a thing that’s been trending for quite a while. It’s based in people having a general lack of responsibility for their actions, as well as the implications of their actions.
People see others on ‘reality’ TV that do or say whatever they want without having to deal with the repercussions, nor caring what those repercussions are. Then they think they can also get away with it.
To me, it represents a total breakdown in people’s personal ethics and morals, which seem to revolve around whatever’s good for them at the time. Incidentally, it’s also why the psychology of post-truth politics is so effective.

Unfortunately for our society, you're right. Turn on the radio and you'll soon hear: "Don't let the credit card company trick you into paying off all of your debt".
And BTW Linux will conquer the world!"And BTW Linux will conquer the world!"
I pay homage to our penguin overlords.
- "We'll settle your IRS debt for pennies on the dollar!" "Pay less than half of what you owe on your credit cards!"
