    It's cool that debt is so fake you can buy it at a tenth of a penny on the dollar or wahtever the fuck, but you can't buy your own debt.

    Burn it. Burn it all.

      Can we start a debt buying cooperative? I buy your debt and you buy my debt and together we all make it go away

        One of the better things that came out of the Occupy movement in '11 was a rolling jubilee movement that raised money to buy up medical debt then tear it up. It's been done before. It mights till be happening, let me look.
