Chiding workers for their lack of devotion while simultaneously praising schemers who corner markets, re-sellers, house flippers, and other such middlemen proves that the modern concept of 'work ethic' is simply a disingenuous fishhook to be shoved down the throats of an underclass. A concept meant to weed out anyone with actual ethics and principles in favor of rubes who are willfully ignorant of how tiny their piece of the action is.
