| schestowitz | I was never in debt myself. | Jan 19 18:20 |
| schestowitz | In recent years, with situation like Christian's and then some other people I know (including those whom I had dinner with last night) I became more aware of the deep consequences that include mental breakdowns. I had a short chat last night also about suicides being caused more often -- at least in part -- due to debt. I said I wasn't sure if love crises (love life) was a greater factor; Alex, my friend's fiancee, said it was | Jan 19 18:20 |
| schestowitz | indeed debt. Not sure about sources and accumulating data about motives of the diseased is probably hard. But anyway, I digress. There is so much more I could say about this shady industry, one where one makes money from having money (cyclic trap that impoverishes the poor and ensures the rich get richer). Was it Islam that banned lending? | Jan 19 18:20 |

| schestowitz | There are other financial instruments, e.g. pensions, that use borrowing from the future as tool of temporary power passage, even without guarantees. Sometimes I think that I ought to have focused more on activism re finance, but then again, this is not my field, but it's already well occupied by many activist whose work gets discredited by k00ks. | Jan 19 18:20 |
