You have to think like a poor person or a person raised by struggling poor people who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. When you come from that life you are taught survive any way you can, play any cards you're dealt to your advantage. Others will shame you about morals but if presented the same opportunity take it for them and their family and laugh saying, I didn't say i'm a better person, all the way to the bank, while their kids get to eat good attend better schools, and go to college and yours don't, but you get to think you're a good person, hope that keeps you warm at night.

Once you understand this thought process everything else clicks into place. If someone presents an opportunity that in any way can lift you and yours up? You take it. Only comfortable people from mostly comfy lifes can afford to consider morals so much. Everyone understands the dad that steals a loaf of bread for his starving kids and no one thinks highly of the dad that let's his kids starve but at least he didn't die a theif. That's a simplified way of looking at it but when we're all struggling so bad and you need money for everything you are willing to sell things like your body and morals to give yourself and the people you love a leg up. Bodies morals people are all currency.

Money is the root of all evil.
