MODERATORS
I'm from a primarily English speaking place and you're absolutely right. The phrase is completely bizarre. Like we could talk about assets, but we equate it to the person, and it's a phrase that comes from the upper echelons of the capitalist ruling class and now everyone uses it. Like we've all just accepted the reality that our society doesn't care about people unless they can pay.
