Well, YES. Paying taxes to the organization that runs ICE, or voting for whichever politician runs against Trump, or trading with a doctor benefiting from an occupational licensing regime; these acts would all be great evils if you weren't trapped.https://twitter.com/zackmdavis/status/1206718983115698176 …

And your candidates don't get elected. Trump got elected, but he's not a good person's candidate. The equilibrium can't be *successfully* broken in a *useful* direction. So your *best* options are the lesser evil acts inside it. The trap is real and cannot be wished away.

It's true that not nearly enough people do the things I mentioned to break the Nash equilibrium. The question is, are people really "trapped" in that they *have* to do the more common thing or else the personal consequences for them are dire? Not always.

What % of waiters, taxi drivers do you think report cash tips accurately? How about other people engaging in cash transactions?

Oh, ok, I imagine low key tax evasion for cash transactions is common and rarely enforced. It's hard to do on a salary or if you're wealthy, I'd expect?
