  I didn’t skip my loan payment, I bypassed it. You’ve made me bypass numerous meals over the years.

    Or better yet … more and more people will start to realize that it’s cheaper in the long run to just skip your loan payments. Even if you lose everything, how much more can you lose?

    And when enough people lose, the banks and corporations start losing as well. So it’s in the best interest of the banks to keep everyone afloat as long as possible to keep up the illusion that the system is still working.

    It’s a precarious balance between making people believe that they need to stay in the game and stopping them from thinking that the game is rigged.

      They’re going to make debtor prison a thing, put people to work to pay it off at prison wages.

      Only debt I have is a mortgage and I don’t like having that either but there isn’t really a better choice. Landlords are scum so at least I don’t deal with them anymore.

    A chunk of people still use it to provide a counter narrative to the right wing propagandists. Kind of like when Buttigieg or Newsom go on Fox News.

      Do we though? It's on a platform owned by an autistic fascist, racist, and supremacist.

    Especially when the entire experience can be recreated in any rudimentary AI chatbot. It’s not like there are any human users left on Twitter anyway.

    People are fine with nazis as long as it benefits them or they don’t have to change.
