I’d like to personally thank whoever came up with the genius idea of charging people money before they have it.
Only half joking.
There isn’t a lack of wealth in the world. It’s just hoarded by a few covetous billionaires. Sounds like it’s time for a redistribution. Your survival is on the line.
There has been a proposed modern implementation of a historical solution: https://braveneweurope.com/steve-keen-reducing-debt-via-a-modern-debt-jubilee
The people who would vote en masse to prevent this are literate enough to comprehend roughly 2% of that information.
There is a reason biblically they recommend debt jubilees.
Take a boomer with you to cosign a shit ton of loans. Go to college, get your cancer treated, whatever; then flee the country to a less shitty part of the world. You get a better quality of life, and the debt goes back to the ones that fucked us! Win win!
(normally I can’t stand using the /s, but just in case it needs to actually be said, this is not a serious comment)
Not the dumbest shit I’ve heard today though. With the way the US is headed right now, you’ll be taken in by your new home as a refugee.
It’s all okay. We can all sell our blood and organs to the mega billionaires so they can all go to space and construct an empire there.
I mean, wasn’t that a major plot point for fight club. Wipe out all the debt records?
And Mr robot
They’re not unique there. Gen X and even boomers have the same problems exact problem. We live in hell, after all.
It’s ok. Conservatives will make it a capital offense. Problem solved.
And older millennials, in some cases.
Yeah, definitely. I delayed my career after grad school because I was assured (by people who were already set for life) that working as an unpaid intern and doing academic fellowships for slave wages would get me a higher-paying job, especially if I waited long enough for the financial system to recover after the ‘08 crash. That was utter bullshit, and now I have significantly fewer assets than most other elder millennials, am way behind on my retirement savings (which lost thousands in the last week thanks to Trump lighting it on fire…), I will never own a home, will never be able to pay off my student debt, and will probably never be able to start a family. Oh and I have good credit, despite my hundreds of thousands of dollars of student debt. I’ve even had a good job for the last 5 years, but it’s all worthless bullshit when upward mobility is practically impossible, and even maintaining my current “wealth” becomes more unrealistic every day. I’m just surviving, that’s all. And I have it relatively good.
In in a similar boat. All I can do is bail as hard as I can.
Negative wealth! That’s the billionaires boogeyman.
Just 👏 stop 👏 paying 👏
At this rate it won’t be by choice
