With increasing technological efficiency in producing the goods we need including and beyond food clothing and shelter and less and less people required in jobs in this respect a divide is created - more and more - between those with jobs and those without jobs, those with means of consumption and those without.
A new morality is being developed among those without means that says that its alright to TAKE what one can when nothing is given and no opportunities exist for contribution and remuneration of any sort.
Of course, this all boils down to the growing problem of distribution of resources and wealth. What is needed is more genuine democracy and less corporatocracy. Better infomation is needed for this to occur. Trouble is that we mostly receive our information from media corporations. Catch-22
