    Doubt. They’ll find some other money trap to fall into in a week unless they’re taught to actually be smarter about their finances.

    So you’re saying nothing should ever even be attempted because the status quo is as good as it gets (because you got yours) and apathy makes you feel cool and smart? nerd

      The market (and people out to make a quick buck) will always move faster than the govt can respond.

      ”The market” will do this anyway so we shouldn’t do anything smuglord galaxy-brain

        “Get educated! and if you don’t, or if you have any disability that makes that ‘education’ impossible, fuck you. If you don’t get ‘educated’ before my holy advocacy somehow conjures up schools to educate you, fuck you. If you can’t afford those schools. Fuck you. Basically just fuck you.” capitalist-laugh

      nothing should ever even be attempted … apathy

      I certainly feel smarter in comparison to you. I’ve been advocating education the entire thread, and you’re claiming that I just want the status quo.

        You haven’t expressed your Dunning-Kruger fantasies of personal exceptionalism in any way that convince me. I just see Reddit-tier signal markers like hatred of the poor, the disabled, and the otherwise disadvantaged.

        I’ve been advocating education the entire thread

        “Education” with the implication that anyone that fails that vague “advocacy” and anyone who is fucked over before your “advocacy” has any results should just suffer for the personal profits of grifters and con artists.

        and you’re claiming that I just want the status quo.

        Because that is the status quo, you disgusting clown. 🤡
