It will be something tone deaf yet in retrospect poetic. Maybe something like this?

This is an inevitable (and was preventable) result of a two party system, unless someone is “into” politics they are trained to tune out.

Beat me to it.

That’s gotta be one hell of a moist machine salesman. It would be like trying to sell me a dehumidifier.

My bet is on it was expunged and this is them just using arrest records to justify bullshit. Now they will call her a CRIMINAL and anything they do is fine, as she is a dirty criminal.

The really really scary part is that they can arrest someone now on trumped up charges (like a judge that rules kidnapping is bad) then later “deport” them do to past arrests.

Canada, so maybe wait to see if we are invaded first.

As is tradition

not the suspects

Irrelevant. No one is safe in that nation.

will be illegal.

They are still around here where I live but they are kinda needed since its dry here (under 20% mostly). Without them the produce desicates. But in moist places? Why?

Be the vegetable you want to be

The longer fuse was still a fuse and was picked over and over for so many years without anything else done. At this point other then being able to say “don’t blame me I voted for kodos” there is little value in the “long fuse” party. The us needed real options outside of fascism vs fascism lite.

Yeah, you are getting nothing from garnished wages of a person who went into debt to buy food (people seem to think that you can just garnish 100% of someones income for some reason). You hit the nail on the head with the comparison to the 2008 mortgage crisis, these are very very very bad loans that they will try to bundle and sell. Another game of hot potato with a grenade.

As someone who has worked a bit in lending (many many years ago), there is diminishing returns to bad loans. No one is sending people to “break knees” over BNPL loans, they charge so many fees just to cover the defaults. There is no real “grey market” to sell these bad loans to (at least for now). They harass and threaten a whole lot, but really don’t do much (due to cost not morals). At the point people are taking payday loans out to buy food, you have got to the point of trying to squeeze blood out of a stone.

This works when talking about seadoos and lifted trucks. When it is food the title of “fool” goes from lendee to lender.

Oh then maybe then they will write articles that “SLAM” him…

brink of a crisis

Ummm I don’t think the meaning of a crisis is understood anymore. Brink implies risking a crisis, where the usa has been in a full on crisis on many fronts for about 100 days. I would even say that they are past the initial crisis point and are getting way to cocky this far into a multi pronged collapse.

I can’t open the article (forbidden) but I am also assuming this is about the new DoorDash and others eat now pay later crap.

I am talking more about the people lending the money, not sure why they think this would be sound lending. People will do far worse then default on a loan to keep eating.

Odd to think if you can’t afford food now you could afford it later plus interest.
