"Morons that are bad with their money continue to act like morons"

[-] Openopenopenopen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is one that I’m on the fence. To me it kinda feels like less advantaged people are finally playing the same game as rich folk. I don’t think it’s smart to go in debt over a vacation, unfortunately people do it all the time.

I mean, if you have no possible way of paying any of this back, might as well have fun before the house of cards collapses.

The govt is in massive debt. Tesla and many corporations are running a loss. Heck my city and school district is running this year with multi million dollar short falls, but somehow the city keeps spending money. The system is set up to run in debt. Everyone that has money, even billionaires, borrows money. I’m considered middle class, but am in massive debt because I bought a house and a car.

It kinda feels like regular people are finally playing the same game as rich people. Why use, and lose, your money, when you can lose other people money instead? What are creditors going to do? Take away the fun experience I had at Disneyland?

They can’t get me to pay back the debt if I have no job, or any future prospects for a job. Might as well have fun while they can, I guess.

I just feel for these folks when the rich, in the US, bribe enough politicians to brings back debtors prisons.
