Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Like honestly one or two stupid debts seem like they can tank the rest of your life. If predatory loans were illegal it would save a lot of people.

Honestly, if you're young with no real assets then bankrupcy can be a really easy one time get out of jail free card financially speaking. If you have no big assets then all it really does is cost a bit for the lawyer and completely fuck your credit for 7 years. But if you would have been spending those 7 years spending all of your money trying to manage debt and fending off debt collectors with a stick anyways then neither of those negatives actually make things any worse for you.

Yeah. I’m glad I never had to go through that.

Loans for homes not being a thing (and you instead getting an actually decent home for cheap) would go a very long way.

The top 10% of households by wealth held 67% of total household wealth. That's something to fix, not ignore

If you think so it will always be

Honestly these issues will never be addressed unless those in power are willing to accept that redistribution of wealth is a necessity at this point for society to not collapse.
