One's expanding role at Walmart raises the possibility that the company could force Affirm and others out of some of the most coveted partnerships in retail.
Sorry, we can only make laws directly out of the Bible when it is against women's body autonomy, not usury. Well, usury is in the Bible and abortion isn't (other than how-tos), but you know what I mean. I have read neither the Bible nor the Constitution but I will absolutely claim they call for specifically the laws I want and ignore any part that calls for the opposite of what I want.
I'm gonna regret not taking out way more debt than I can ever afford to pay off when the government erases loans for the millions of folks who are falling for this, won't I?
Nah, there will probably be a bipartisan compromise passed to bailout WalMart by buying this debt for the sake of "the economy" and then authorizing the government to start collecting on it by garnishing people's paychecks and social security payments and food stamps for the sake of "the deficit"
Dude gen z and alpha are so fucked.millenials got debt screwed so hard it's created a whole industry around pushing easy to get loans and after pay and klarna and 0 interest rate credit and and and. Debt is literally required to live for most Americans and it's only going to get worse.
The line "another day older and deeper in debt" from the chorus came from a letter written by Travis's brother John.[2] This and the line "I owe my soul to the company store" are a reference to the truck system and to debt bondage. Under this scrip system, workers were not paid cash; rather they were paid with non-transferable credit vouchers that could be exchanged only for goods sold at the company store. This made it impossible for workers to store up cash savings. Workers also usually lived in company-owned dormitories or houses, the rent for which was automatically deducted from their pay.
I just wish I could find a real replacement to Simple, my favorite bank ever.
They got bought by BBVA, things were fine for a while, then BBVA forced us off Simple and onto BBVA crap, then sold to PNC, which is when I finally moved over to One, at the time it was small but had some cool features. Then they sold to Walmart and the features got stripped out, the security got worse, the app now sends me bullshit notifications daily. Ugh
Capitalisms transition to neo-feudalism has been accelerating rapidly. Fun fact, amazon has their own intillegence division stocked with pinkertons and ex military.
