    Right so we should ruin their credit scores so it gets harder to rent (yes rental agencies check) or buy a car (even if they get one, their interest rate will be super high). Better we just fuck people over since they can’t afford a house, right?

        Ok so I’ll move to Ireland, since they speak English and I could keep my job I’m sure I’ll have much better luck renting there XD. Go away troll

          Lemmy.world kids will never understand the actual world and how it works…

          You can’t just all complain you’re getting fucked AND agree to all do nothing about it. The rest of the world is watching and laughing at the USA right now.

          Don’t pay your American banks, there is nothing stopping you from doing that.

            You say kids, but you’re talking about people who are mostly mid 20s-40s. Exactly how old are you, geezer?

              20-40s who can “afford to move” should have already done so. Boiling frogs, just sitting there. Owe 80k to Chase Bank? Just. Fucking. Leave.

                Many people can’t afford to move. When were you born? Just give me a decade. You sound like a Boomer. Born into a fantastic economic situation, ruining it for the future, and then sitting on the sidelines with stupid fucking opinions

                  Calling an outsider looking in, a “boomer,” doesn’t help the situation. My 25-30s were spent just-fucking-escaping that cesspool. Again, if you owe more than say… 10k, it makes more sense to take your diploma to another country.

                  10k is way more money than it takes to get to Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Australia, anywhere really. Every single other “industrialized” nation pays for their citizens healthcare because it’s cheaper in the long run.

                  If you can find a SEA country that will take you? Even more power to you.

                  Don’t see the world from your own lemmy.world myopic-viewpoint. Big, big banks’ collateral will be fucked when these types of loans all collapse and get downgraded by fitch(/etc). Not paying will just shorten the fuse for these trillion $ orgs.

                    For one, you dodged the question. For two, wanna float me 10+ grand? Promise I’ll pay it back in social security. I already started payment so you know I’m good for it.

                    Edit to add (since you’re probably too old to understand acronyms): How old are you? You’ve failed to answer this question
