Why is this a problem though? They are legally obligated to pay off their loan.

  What happens when people peacefully revoke their consent to be governed in such a manner? Or leave the country? Or simply the economy? I'm no longer participating in the traditional workforce, choosing instead to meet my needs primarily through decentralized communities founded around giving or trading. I have no wages to garnish. What are they going to do? Jail me? Pretty sure that's no longer considered legal. Even if I'm wrong, what happens when a large collective of people do this? How will investors respond?

    > meet my needs primarily through decentralized communities founded around giving or trading. Care to share any more details? This sounds like an unusual and interesting lifestyle.

      The Buy Nothing Project is awesome. Most recent things my wife and I have gotten: a slightly queen mattress, a cosleeper for our 2 week old, a breastfeeding pillow, baby clothes to fit our slightly smaller-than-most-newborn-clothes newborn. We got these things in the past 2 weeks for free. https://buynothingproject.org https://buynothingproject.org When it comes to our friends, we all offer support in various ways to each other, including mediating conflicts between couples or groups. Most of us practice nonviolent communication to various degrees. We orient ourselves around mutual aid and practice asking/offering help on a near-daily basis. Edit: I'll add more later. I'm exhausted and falling asleep trying to type.
