make ends meet - this is not injustice?
Yes, but as you point out - it is a specific case. Justice is case by case
- it can't be a blanket statement. Surely you can understand that.
Sometimes moral-relativism is such a cowardly security blanket to hide in.
And we've reached name calling. Now you've definitely convinced me.

So you agree that my example is injust.
However there is no difference in the level of injustice between my example
and a filthy rich company that pollutes water and kills cute kittens who has
the same thing happen to their video release. Wrong is wrong.
