      It’s like the government just stopped caring to protect us at all. Every regulatory system has been broken. You are being sold carcinogens every day and there is no help coming. Have a nice day!

          Our parents thought “free handouts” weren’t good for us and were only for “bad people” which was inexplicably often black people

          Your ancestors knew that doing stuff like that wasn’t sustainable. However, instead of leaving the door closed, they opened the door nice and wide, exploited it as long as they could, and then welded the door shut so that no one else could take advantage of the leftovers.

      Did anybody at all read the article?

      666 people are enrolled in a trial system so that their pizza debts are collected from their estate when they die.

      No interest rate or fees.

      So…

      Basically free pizza for life. It’s not predatory, And it’s insane to me that people post articles, even in a comment, without reading them. Because if you had read the article “predatory” would be the furthest thing for your mind. It’s just a gimmick promotion to increase sales

      I definitely wish I was one of those 666 people

      Shit, if everyone signs up for that what’s to stop them from going bankrupt before you have to pay? Also, what stops people from altering the will after the fact?
