Fact: Stealing via whatever means is always easier than innovating and doing honest work.

Thus if you can force a Chevy buyer to pay you as a competing car maker, such as Musk has done via so-called "carbon and mileage credits" you do it because its easier to "lobby" government than to find ways to make your vehicles better, faster and cheaper and thus more-desirable all on their own.  Whether the vehicles are actually good is immaterial; even if they are the incremental forced sales are easier to come by than actual sales.

If you can extort someone into buying "health insurance" by presenting to them an "Explanation of Benefits" that shows a non-insured price of $100,000 but the insurance company paid $10,000 for the same thing you can effectively force via said extortion the purchase of your "insurance".  Of course this requires your active conspiracy between your firm and the service provider which appears on its face to violate several laws, but its easier and cheaper to do that than it is to actually give useful advice on personal health like, for example, do not eat carbs in size and do not use seed oils at all; if you did that there might not be a need for the health services in the first place.

If you can lie on an H-1b application as an employer that you have had no layoffs in the previous 90 days and will not in the next 90 when in fact you have and then do that saves you a crap-ton of money which goes directly to your bottom line and screws Americans.

And if you can somehow manage to employ an illegal alien even though he has no CDL (which he can't have as he's not here legally) rather than paying a US CDL holder a competitive wage to drive your trucks that is cheaper than paying the competitive wage.  Oh, then said person claims he has a bomb when stopped and totally fucks up traffic on a major highway for roughly six hours.

Why does all this crap go on?

Because nobody ever goes to prison for any of it.

Why doesn't the local tavern screw me on my beer purchase?  Because if they do I tell others about it and stop going; I can wear a sandwich board on the sidewalk outside the place.  There is thus a direct available pushback if they try to screw me and thus the better choice is to offer honest service at a mutually-agreeable price.

In other words the small business remains accountable in the local market where the larger concern never is.

This is why laws criminalizing screwing people and in most cases they're criminal felonies, exist.

Where are the handcuffs and by the way, how many homicidal maniacs do you think this sort of intentional refusal to act by our governments at all levels, local, state and federal, will eventually be generated when the people get tired of this shit or simply are robbed blind to the point of destitution?
