    You like “usury” don’t ya. The word. I noticed you used it a couple of times already.

    Usury. Has some weight to it, doesn’t it. Some heft. It’s got . . . connotations.

      Do you have a better word for lending money and charging exorbitant interest rates, fees, or conditions to unjustly enrich the lender? I could just call them legally gray loan sharks, which they are, but the laws surrounding the governance of money lending are actually called usury laws. That’s why I used the term. I think the Banks and Credit companies that have bled the countries bottom 50% dry and have nearly succeeded in eliminating the middle class qualify for the label, but you do you.
