      It’s like the government just stopped caring to protect us at all. Every regulatory system has been broken. You are being sold carcinogens every day and there is no help coming. Have a nice day!

          Our parents thought “free handouts” weren’t good for us and were only for “bad people” which was inexplicably often black people

          Your ancestors knew that doing stuff like that wasn’t sustainable. However, instead of leaving the door closed, they opened the door nice and wide, exploited it as long as they could, and then welded the door shut so that no one else could take advantage of the leftovers.

        It’s unfortunate, but even without the boomers we might be speed running into a brick wall.

      Right?! It’s just tricking people into spending money they shouldn’t.

        That’s like 99% of what marketing is.

          Which is one of the many reasons why advertising should be illegal with very few exceptions.

            How do you define advertising?? How do you propose you inform people about your product?

                You can restructure society to not require profit.

                How do you define profit? If you mean creating value- no, you can’t. Life requires consumption of value. That is food, that is water, and medicine.

                The economy exists currently purely to increase consumption

                No. It exists because people want to exchange what they have for what they want.

      Did anybody at all read the article?

      666 people are enrolled in a trial system so that their pizza debts are collected from their estate when they die.

      No interest rate or fees.

      So…

      Basically free pizza for life. It’s not predatory, And it’s insane to me that people post articles, even in a comment, without reading them. Because if you had read the article “predatory” would be the furthest thing for your mind. It’s just a gimmick promotion to increase sales

      I definitely wish I was one of those 666 people

          Fair enough.

          And I apologize for the harsh tone.

          I read the article you linked, and I was like “what’s this guy talking about”.

          Have a nice day.

      Shit, if everyone signs up for that what’s to stop them from going bankrupt before you have to pay? Also, what stops people from altering the will after the fact?
