CREDIT CARDS

going into debt for buying groceries has been so normalized, that’s why those fascist bootlicking fuckwads have no conception of living without safety net.

#debt is the MAGA safety net.

and capitalists are very happy to oblige in extending their lines of indentured servitude, if it means those people wont revolt and call for their heads.

yet another example of how #corruption is the foundation of #fascism.

oh shit .. 05:15 in the morning

just spend a night researching #US #consumer houshold #debt, without noticing

epicenter will again be the #USA

this time it isn't going to be just a #mortage default crisis but a everything default (#AutoLoans, #CreditCard, #StudentDebt, ..)

and the trigger is #tariffs & #doge adding to an already financially hurting nation

Або ж чітко знати, що ви будете спроможні віддати кредит з огляду на ваші доходи.

Як у вас з цим?

#Why are #working-class #people conditioned to feel ashamed about owing unjust #debt? Why are we constantly told to embrace personal responsibility and “pull ourselves up by our #bootstraps”?

Because the ruling class spends billions shaping these narratives—encouraging us to police ourselves and each other instead of building solidarity.’
