   My work sent out an email letting us know they've joined Purchasing Power and we can now buy from them. I've never heard of it so I decided to check them out thinking it was a place for cheap surplus office furniture and stuff like that. Turns out it's far more dystopian and sinister than that.

     @j There is at least one person in this Godforsaken country who: Is using Affirm to finance an Amazon purchase

     Wants to use their bank's "early payday" (fully integrated payday loan) feature

     Because otherwise they will burn one of their eight "overdraft forgiveness" perks at their Hollyweird endorsed bank with no physical locations.

     And it will dock their credit score which they just artificially "boosted" for the third time this year by providing the reporting agency more transparency into their purchases.

     Honk honk.

     @Eleutheria2 @j The way they are pushing those micro loans at Amazon and elsewhere is bonkers. I remember ~10 years ago the "microloan" was being heralded as a savior of Africa. And now 'Murica is doing so well it's becoming mainstream here.

     @Fiddle this is the point we're at. People don't have too much debt to use credit so the Jews must come up with new and innovative ways to get people more in debt.

     Literally debt with extra steps, because people got used to the term debt already.

     @j Most Americans need to get used to being Poor (TM). That means not buying all the latest consoomer junk, nor having a big Boomer house filled with nice furniture and decorations.

     There are ways the decline could be reversed, but that would be inconvenient to a lot of people so they'll keep marching into the Second World.
