If they are not doing anything illegal and simply following the rules. What is the other option? What if that person has children? I mean, I hate the idea of cold calling and pestering elderly people but if it's a choice between that and seeing my own children go hungry (which is a perfectly realistic scenario with sanctions) then there is really no option at all.

It's another lovely hypothetical, although related it doesn't really have a baring on how I feel about the topic.
