Enabling it everywhere facilitates people purchasing things they can't afford and fucking themselves.

The picture is funny but the real thing is filling up a cart with everything needed for a renovation, failing to pay a payment and having it cost you more than list price with the hidden, past due accounts owe us 30% interest plus fees type of paradigm.

    If you need to borrow money for a renovation, a HELOC is way cheaper than a credit card.

    IDK how much we need to protect stupid people from themselves.

    Not everyone has access to the financial education that teaches you how bad this is. I see so many people that don't actually understand how credit cards work because they "just got one" after signing up for a rewards program (basically, got scammed into signing up).
