What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

The annoying thing is, depending on your job and financial situation, it hardly matters whether it's illegal or not. I'm not talking about my comfortable situation as a software engineer, but rather people working crap jobs and not having alternatives.

If you know, you'll be out of work for longer if you get fired, you basically cannot report any illegal stuff your employer is doing.
