    Ironic that this article is paywalled, so poor people don’t get to read more bullshit blaming poor people for costing predatory lenders money.

      I’m not specifically advocating for this but am kinda astounded that with how many folks became weirdly obsessed with Fight Club for all the wrong reasons that one of them hasn’t at least tried to destroy a credit card company and its records.

        The credit card companies are just middlemen that process transactions for banks. All you’d get from blowing them up is lines to pull cash from the bank and bills in the mail to pay by check.

          I realize that, I’m just shocked someone hasn’t attempted it without knowing

            Maybe because it is too impersonal? Like you can hate a person, hating an industry feels harder to do.
