    thats what i always tell these people. wtf do they think a “credit score” is? it dictates where you can live, where you can work, what privileges you’re afforded, and by extension of all those what people you’re even able to interact with

    all the scary shit they make up about china or any other country really is just daily life in america

    like all this shit going on in Argentina right now, not that its made up. its horrible but that shit is just daily life in america and i see americans being like “wow i cant believe their government would do that”. YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE

      I saw the headlines the other day about how millions of Argentinians are taking out loans to buy food, which is what most credit card debt in the US is right now. People HERE can’t afford to buy food with cash on hand so they are taking out loans to buy it. But that’s just normal so rich yuppies in the suburbs don’t think about it
