    This is an argument for punishing wage theft not that crime is a made up concept.

      To paraphrase my favorite author:

        To call something a social construct doesn’t diminish the impact of that thing. Race is a social construct as well, and that too has very real impacts on people. Much of what humans interact with on a daily basis are social constructs. That doesn’t make those things meaningless or trivial.

        Marriage is a social construct, but that doesn’t mean I can go around acting like I’m single without consequence.

        One crime has far less harsh sentences, far less enforcement, and a much more significant impact. Yet harm is the same by the money amounts.
