    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.

        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.

    It's wild to me one or a group can purchase debt, and be able to purchase high amount of it rather cheapy. That's just a bonkers concept to me.

      porky-happy tries to make it hard-to-illegal for non porky-happy to buy such debts, though. Because they may be discharged like this. porky-scared

        Oh for sure! I'm all for people exploiting any crack in the porky-happy system especially when that exploitation is for the betterment of others, don't get me wrong. Very glad that dirtbag queer gutter-pagan are doing right by people.
