    Student loans, credit cards. They fuck you even if you’re homeless. The debt accumulates. Just waiting for you to get back on your feet.

    Make no mistake about it. The wealth extraction class has refined its methods to the maximum. They’re stealing everything that isn’t nailed down before they lock down in their bunkers to survive global warming.

      Is it really a “bunker” if it’s the entire Hawaiian island of Lanai?

      I just want to make sure we understand the scale of what’s going on here. A “bunker” is small potatoes; these fucks have already extracted so much wealth they could field private armies if they want.

    Some crazy part of me wonders what would happen if 50%-75%+ of people just straight up refused to pay.

    And, not for like…one month. But 6-12 months. It would have to have a meaningful, negative impact to banks? Right?

      Paraphrasing a common saying… If 100 people can’t pay the bank back, the 100 people have a problem; if 100 million people can’t pay the bank back, the bank has a problem.
