        Things feel so dystopian that I get the feeling that after they get everyone on debt slavery that they’ll put propaganda about how it’s unfair that debt is absolved on death and that your family/kids should pay for it. Fox News will be like: “why should a company’s debts just disappear? it’s unfair to the lender!”
