A few random thoughts…
Curious what they consider to be a “crime”, such that a person comes into money, does something ‘criminal’, and is subsequently labeled a recidivist.
If you lived your entire life with financial struggle versus having fallen on hard times, I think the former would have the imagination of the hustle, which would not be entirely subverted by ‘winning the lottery’.
How does one rehabilitate their moral judgment? Education? Not by only winning the lottery.
I’m reminded of Malcolm Gladwell’s reporting of the Starvation Experiment in his podcast Revisionist History. He discusses how the participants were effected their entire life by the experience of near-starvation.
