Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

What he actually means:
It's people like this that have rotted our societies. They want all our wealth to be stretched out in easy to target debt.
I get the need to shit on him, but you're kind of revealing that you have no clue who this guy is. His whole thing has been pretty firmly anti-loan and pro-savings.
His philosophy is bullshit and hasn't been compatible with the current economical climate in 20+ years.
That's fine, but saying he wants people to be in debt is kind of an absurd claim.
His own claims contradict his viewpoint and whatever the advice he is pilferring is to "move out and buy your own home". Only way anybody with a normal wage can afford a home is via going into debt forever.
Nobody is going to get their own apartment or home without a loan, at least not anyone whom this is directed to. I don't know him, I don't want to know about him, I'm only criticizing his message. If what you say is true, he also seems to be someone who contradicts himself as well because staying with family is a great way to avoid needless loans, costs, and liabilities that consumer culture tries to instill (specially when their parents get old enough to become extremely dependent and susceptible to scammers). Not only did I not know about him, but you are not painting a great picture of him if he seems to be that inconsistent.
Maybe they deserve some sort of wall?
You know, as a memorial?
