Why not? It's not that easy to find a job these days. If you get laid off and struggle to pay the bills between jobs you would say that someone who sells weed doesn't deserve a family? Even though they are willing to risk a lot, like their own freedom, to support their family?

No. It puts the family at risk. Not only can the dealer go to prison, but the house is more likely to be the target of a break-in.

It certainly isn't a wise or responsible thing to do. If you are supporting your family by selling drugs, you're actually selling quite a bit of drugs. To make thousands each month it has to be much more than selling weed on the side as a college student.

You risk loosing your family, getting incarcerated, assets seized that would hurt your family, etc. etc.

Pretty foolish.

I'm undecided regarding the "morality" of it, though. The type of drug would definitely help play a factor in that determination.

They can. It's just probably not what they want or they don't want to put in the hours to make the money. Someone in the position who is connected in the underworld enough that stands to make thousands in illicit drug deals each month is likely a bottom-of-the-barrel person to begin with and probably is already implicated in other frauds or scams or associated with those types of people.

One doesn't just lose their job and say "I'm going to put my time and effort into seeking out people who will sell me drugs bulk drugs and seek out enough people who will trust me as a seller to sell the drugs"

Might as well spend that time advancing yourself or applying to find jobs if that's truly the case.

Am I wrong about my first sentence or two or something?

Does everyone who loses their job resort peddling drugs as a viable career option? Of course not.

If, for your robot example, you lose your job to a robot and decide to take up selling big time drugs you're already taking a different "career" path.

Why not take another legal career path instead? Why does it have to be selling drugs?

The truck driving industry is starving for jobs atm. Do they have autonomous trucks yet? I know the electric trucks aren't happening for a long time, but I dont know if they have a diesel option yet.

Considering TC said support a family, I am nearly certain they aren't talking about weed.

See, hard stuff is what could make the amount of money needed for a family, which happens to be the shit that ruins families.

Right, well, I mean "universal" is in the name isn't it? So it's implications must be universal, i.e. eliminating crime?

But you wouldn't want that - because it goes against your agenda of supporting the for-profit prison system, keeping people locked up on frivolous charges.
