Rocket Mortgage has had this commercial for a couple years where some schlub is trudging back into his house lamenting the fact that six bags of groceries has become two (thanks to inflation). Suddenly his house starts talking to him and reminding him that he could get a Rocket Mortgage loan backed by his small amount of equity and use the money to buy groceries. Dude lights up with joy and dances into this house. It’s just beyond fucked that this is obviously one of their most successful commercials. It’s amazing that they can turn borrowing money for food into a positive.
I knew we were fucked when dicks sporting goods had a paper printout saying they would finance your yeti cooler on the end cap with the coolers.
I now refuse to ever own a yeti product. GFs family has a few, I refuse. The 2 yeti cups i have were gifts. And a 3rd one we found at a thrift store for $4.
