Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

It's categorically ridiculous how the credit system in good ol' 'Murica is based on you getting into debt so you can be deemed "trustworthy" by the banks.

A system designed to keep you tight om a leash, forever selling your labor to pay off that first debt.

Categorically ridiculous? Try systemic evil.

It's even more "funny" if you think it's the very opposite of how old fashioned bank managers used to judge people's creditworthiness in order to decide if they should get a loan or not, back in the day (and not even that much back: algorithmic loan decisions only became a thing in the late 80s and 90s.).
