IronBird@lemmy.world 1 day agonah, no lender gives a fuck about your financial situation, certainly not in america. bankstreet turned boom and bust investing into an science, nothing has changed there.

It’s not really a trap, it’s how you get money to make big things happen. Obviously you can make big things happen through authoritarian means (like pyramids) but in a less authoritarian society, which I think everyone except the lemmy ml folks would say is good, the way you make big things happen is through borrowing money at the lowest possible interest rate. There’s a reason the fed rate is such a critical, newsworthy figure in our society – not just for the us but for many countries.

They are right, its a trap.
If the system were set up in a way that you could actually get to the point where those “big things” were not always required, on an individual basis, it wpuld not be.
But that isn’t the world we live in. We live in one where everything needs to keep raising in cost until there is nonescape from the debt requirement for anyone. And the squeeze will happen until everyone becomes a part of the trap.
