    I guess that’s why I’m not planning to move to the US any time soon. The whole “you’re scammed by default” thing. I don’t want to be an expert on 30 different things just so that I don’t get seriously fucked over every other day.

    I used to live in a country that was similar in some ways, you had to triple check everything because every glorified “small business owner” was scummy, and the regulator was asleep at the wheel. I like my peace and quiet now.

      I don’t blame you. There are a lot of reasons I wouldn’t move here if I didn’t already live here, not the least of which being my massive medical debts.

      I was just saying that there is an alternative to that particular problem and I wish more people knew about it and took it. Banks should not be for-profit entities in the first place in my opinion.
