So, Lending Tree makes short term loans and it just so happens Lending Tree releases a "poll" that gives the impression it's acceptable and almost normal for people to borrow short term loans to buy groceries?

Sure, sure, no conflict of interest there...

completely freaking out because they can't make their truck payments without OT


I've always lived my lifestyle based on a 40 hour work week. I had a 9-10 month stretch where I worked 20-40 hours extra per week. All that OT went into savings. We had guys going out and buying new vehicles and then OT got cut and they're freaking out.

SHOCKER that this divergence skyrocketed after 1971 after we abandoned the gold standard and sound monetary policy.

Just a coincidence to be sure.

Cool, buy the groceries then don’t pay the loan sharks loaning for groceries.
They can have the converted capital back if they want ??

So then, why is everything more expensive across the board?



Every economic system has its weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Capitalism is no exception. It tends to devolve into cartels and oligarchism.

Probably because it's like going to the zoo. I went to the zoo once and was viewing the gorillas when one gorilla made eye contact with me and I thought I saw a spark of intelligence in that ape. I thought we had come to some kind of agreement. Then he rolled onto his back and started slapping his feet. He was primate again.

I doubt the gold standard had much to do with it
