Building a nation of indentured servants.

"This kidney transplant is available to you at a low, low price of $2999.99/month.
Subject to repossession if you miss any payments!"

But have you seen the Dow?!!!?

Oh yeah, it's slavery time

They want us to die penniless. They really hate it when their workers in their 40s and 50s start getting inheritances, and either stop working so hard, or retire early, or worse, go into competition against them.

Kill middle class inheritances, and you create a segment of older workers who are increasingly desperate to keep their jobs and especially their health care. That's a segment that you can ruthlessly exploit, and discard after you've used them up. Everybody hates older workers.

My co-pay per psych visit is $200. They originally wanted me to have a visit every month.

When I told their office that I can’t afford to pay that much each month, they told me, “We have installment plans.”

I responded, “So I can’t afford paying this amount, but you want me to still come here once a month, and your solution is monthly installment plans? … You see how that doesn’t help at all, right?”

No response.

Anyway, if I seem cranky in the near-future, it’s because I stopped going to that doctor and thus my stock of anti-depressant and anti-anxiety meds is running out. I’ll need to carefully taper myself down to avoid catastrophic consequences. It took an absurd amount of searching to even find a doctor accepting new patients in the first place, and I don’t want to have to go through all that just to wind up with more unaffordable bills. I don’t know what else to fucking do.

If they have their way children will be born into debt and forced to "earn" their way up to $0.00.

It's parasite games.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

Now all we need to do is legally transfer debt to offspring. Then my great-great-great-great grandson has to pay off that stupid muscle car I bought.

The year is 2126. I have finished my Doctorate degree to make me eligible for an entry level data entry job at one of the 4 mega corps. For my student loans I owe my school 4 years of life. During my time in school I got cancer from the PFAS plant I was forced to live next to. Cured in one pill (oh the wonders of modern medicine!) But now I owe the pharmaceutical company 4 years of my life.

The pharmaceutical company and my university are now in a legal match to determine who gets the first 4 years (younger and more productive). They settle. I owe an additional 2 years now for the legal costs that are passed down to me.

Meanwhile, people in Europe are taking their mandated 6 months of vacation. Fucking communists. Do they even think of the shareholders??

i'm beginning to think france did the colonies no favors by providing crucial aid and support in their war for 'freedom' two and a half centuries ago.

Indentured servitude with extra steps.

Next: Repackage the BNPL loans into debt based instruments used by investors.

Then: The entire economy crashes and we given Elon Musk control over our financial system.

Eventually: We go extinct like we deserve.

We could just revolt

Okay, hear me out - childbirth, but it's in US, therefore it costs 250'000 and since the baby can't pay it, then everyone in US is born with a 250k debt. Republicans, contact me for idea copyrights

We have been going on this line for 40 years. Credit cards used to be rare you limits were low. Houses were bought on 10-15 ye loans. Car loans were 3 yrs. College loans were crazy hard to get.

That isn't a new thing, America is addicted to debt, and has been for a few decades.

Black mirror did an episode about this sort of thing. It was very dark

I will just simply not pay

I'm going to eat his kidney (Not Chases')

Orange cancer can die. Nothing gonna change until stupid Americans stop voting like knuckle draggers.

"The debt will serve both to enrich us, and to keep them compliant"

How about we evaluate why these things cost so much? Maybe if we idk, actually allow people the medical care they need instead of criminalizing them and gouging them maybe people would actually consider this country becoming a favorable place to live.

Whatever though people are choosing to have less and less children so ** when we die in debt an we have millions of dollars in debt due to probably a 8% apr, the government can go fuck itself looking for that debt collection because we're not gonna have any family to pay those people back. Given that most people's next of kin is responsible for their debt if they die.**

So yeah, I mean push people to thier limits and force us all into debt and then wonder why no one wants to procreate and yeah like anyone wants that 8%apr payment plan for crapping out an offspring that they so desperatly want you to keep and not abort but can't afford to take care of and NOW they cut MORE Programs that help families and then go: no, no, no, there's payment plans. Which agian shows they care about, what could be and not really is. It shows they don't want to know what is going on and only use a heavily biased generalization.

Fuck outta here. I hope they all see a psychiatrist.

This is cyberpunk, but where are our neural inputs so we can watch TV in sim sense? The future sucks. They are supposed to wait until we can be placated by technology properly before really hammering it in. That'll be $5 debited from your account for the comment, thank you

"we're gonna have to repossess grandma's heart transplant unless y'all pay up ..."
