      It’s most likely that people won’t have a choice. Many people, anyway, from what I understand of USian wages and cost of living.

        I’m not talking about rent, I’m talking about the massive credit card and loan debt that has propped up millions of folks trying to live a lifestyle they can’t really afford. In the US, it’s incredibly common for folks to just take on debt for stupid shit, like a jacked up truck they only ever use to drive to the grocery store.

          I haven’t mentioned rent, I’ve mentioned cost of living …which includes rent, as well as shopping bills, gas and electric, car payments, clothes, holidays.

          My point was the people not be able to pay credit card debt.

          this is the 6th time in the past 2 days i see this argument. blaming the people for using the system that has been forced on us over the past 20 years to bolster GDP.

          i smell an attempted narrative change.
