Is it not stranger to scrimp now for an entirely theoretical future?

Is it not stranger to scrimp now for an entirely theoretical future?
- derefr 14y agoYes. I would say that the truly "pragmatic" among us today are those who live the good life by leveraging long-term debt (mortgages, student loans, etc.), pay only the interest, then, in the fullness of time, default by dying of old age. Since the rich can easily pay down these debts, and the poor can easily carry them until death and when they then "evaporate", the US basically has a strange, Corporatist version of a basic income already--as long as your credit is good.
