  My English is not the best but how does that qualify as a loan?

    the title references something else than the image

    some places allow you to pay for stuff over a period of time, so you can actually be financing something like a pizza

      Credit card installments exist all over the world.

      Is that what’s being displayed here, a pizza paid by credit card installments?

        What is displayed here is a price disparity for the same item. The top bar of the gif identifies this as a side effect of capitalism. The title is talking about insane financing schemes which are also perceived as a side effect of capitalism. That is how they are related, pretty sure OP is making a joke with the 69% reference. The whole mood says “capitalism bad”.

        thats what the title is referring to. as in, not what is in the image itself. the image itself is showing the same product for the same size yet the “kids” version is almost a dollar cheaper than what everybody else would usually get
