 I'm not sure if this is real, but if it is, I no longer question why normies don't bother with #Bitcoin, they too busy financially ruining themselves to care about the future. 

Homegirl got absolutely rinsed on this deal, 267 months??

If you're agreeing to a mortgage term length for a #Ford, you can't aFord it

 22 years? What company would even finance it for that long? The car will barely last 10 years. 
 She must have been mistaken. 
 Predatory lending is prevalent. Some dealers will do their own financing on the basis of knowing the “buyer” is likely be unable to make the payments. 

When the buyer can’t make the payments the vehicle is recovered. They flip the vehicle to another person. 

This is more common than it appears some people are aware of. 

99% have been enslaved by the wealthy 
1% takes all 
 So they're basically renting the vehicles at insanely high premiums, while predatory, these people are still willing buyers, and made their decision based on I guess I can afford x a month and thats all the due diligence they do 
 Predatory is key. 🔑 

Predator and prey **can** be symbiotic. See below 👇 As I’ve been both: I chose long ago to use my resources for the benefit of as much #humanity as possible. Truly. Even then: mistakes have consequences & will continue to be made. Definitely not perfect 🤣

 I paid for my last car outright. So yes, I'm completely unaware of this sort of practice. 
 Way to justify your ignorance. Appreciated.  
 Glad to be of service. what's sad to me is that while the practices may be "predatory" there are so people who can't think through a basic proposal. 
 Go deeper.  
 Don't need to. Our policies have ruined people and communities. Her life is wrecked and her only hope of getting transportation has been reduced to renting her things forever. And she probably doesn't have the education to do anything about it, which was also done to her on purpose. 
 Policies are bad. However many in the #USA never vote for local governments nor work on civic matters. 

Keep the pawns fighting amongst theirselves 

Religion, class, race, sex, 

Divided caste chattel is US society

We’ve bought into “freedom” ideology 

“Let them eat fast food.”

We ignore or berate those unlike us. 

This keeps us constantly wrestling …

USA unaware of 
Evil pulling the strings. 
Peacemakers spoke 
As always 
Powerfully silenced.

It’s all good. It’s getting better ❤️‍🩹 but I hope 🤞 humanity can handle the next 10 years. Truly. 
 
 100% agree with this. Few fought back against the evil. 
 Not true. Many fought back & died for doing so. Writing about it now. 🤞

Truth is this: the current strike of the dockworkers should be a siren 🚨 call for the #USA WORKERS. Working on that issue now. 🤞 
 I doubt she or the car will see our the term of that loan 
 Sadly, you may be right.

 Lol when you're that round and walking around in crocs, I doubt you care about freedom 
 the what PROMOTE n FUELS A DEBT based system  at STATE level , COUNTY level , grassroot INDIVIDUAL LEVEL 
 Sweden have Tesla loans with zero percent interest. They are trying to get rid of the cars fast. 
 Lol what's the deal, they just not selling? I can't imagine EVs work too well in cold weather so you'd still need a gas car too right? 

 
 Surely this is not real! £100k over 22years 😂 
 I hope not, this has to be right? In South Africa car loans max out at 96 months which is already a total madness, but 22 years for a 3 year old car, is just plain coocoo 
 That is totally a mistake, there is no way she is paying $100k for that 
 I googled and they say the car retails for around 22k, so basically 4.5x the price while the cars value continues to trend towards zero, this has to be a parody  
 22 years?!? 
 One of the best examples of keeping the stupid people poor as fuck 
 Insane. But slavery is alive and well 
 Yup
