Travelling and leaving debts behind

[phildwyer]

Glib, unfunny evasion, noted.

To be perfectly frank I did not find your question worthy of a serious reply.

So are you really incapable of imagining a world without banks then? How do you think people managed before 1700?

Banks are not necessary. Capitalists are not necessary. They need us, we don't need them.

There was a time on these boards when statements like this would have been unnecessary. O tempora, o mores.

Ripping off creditors is part and parcel of the capitalist system It's not really anything to either be proud or ashamed of.

Apparently, you still don't.

Mostly in a state of life-long, transgenerational servitude, if you want to call that "managing". It's odd to see a 'socialist' looking back fondly on the days of feudalism.

I'm guessing that's how these boards acquired the 'monothought clique' reputation. I'm for diversity of opinion, me.

I'm also for dealing with the world as I find it, which entails living up to one's financial obligations and being honest in one's dealings. Old-fashioned notions, I know; but it's how I was raised.
