In other words you have an "I got mine" attitude about demographically vulnerable people getting exploited.
You're not exactly answering the question here.
If you can't see demographically vulnerable people being exploited as a bad thing, I can't make you see it. And quite frankly I feel bad for any family members you might have, especially senior citizens, if they get taken advantage of by grifters/scammers. You'd be too busy congratulating yourself for being superior to them.
I appreciate how you keep going for the ad hominem attacks instead of trying to engage in an actual discussion. Was fun, let's do this again sometime.
I accurately described your contempt for exploited vulnerable people and your inflated sense of superiority about their predicament.
There is no discussion you're leaving yourself open for but more congratulations of yourself for feeling superior to vulnerable exploited people.
