Tales of Many Things#CreditCards don’t punish bad behavior.
They punish restraint.
The most profitable credit card customer is the one who can’t pay in full.
If you’re #FinanciallyResponsible, credit card companies don’t want you.

⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯the latest and greatest from Marc Andreessen’s #a16z is #Coverd, an app to let you gamble on your child support payments and #OnlyFans bill.

Maggie MaybeThe Banksters are freaking out.
Every day this week I’ve received an email from Citibank encouraging me to take a cash advance on the credit cards I have with them that I don’t use because the interest rate is ridiculous.
I keep the credit cards I don’t use frozen because Discover card has shown me that if someone is able to get my credit card numbers and use them I will have to pay, so I will not fuck around and find out.
And instead of silently allowing me to use this security feature that they’ve advertised to me to protect myself with I get emails once a week reminding me that I have frozen my cards and telling me that if I’ve lost it I should go ahead and get a new card number so I can unfreeze that card.
NO THANK YOU SKANKS, NOT TODAY CAPITALISM, YOU WILL NOT GET ME TODAY!!
This recession is going to be so interesting. During the last recession credit cards were canceling peoples credit lines because they were afraid they would use them and then not pay, but during this recession they’re trying to talk us into using credit lines we won’t be able to pay for?
This is going to be so interesting. It makes me think they think the #bankruptcy laws will be changing. Why else would they want my disabled ass to take loans on these cards? They know my income. I don’t lie about my income to them because I’m not down with being accused of credit card fraud should I need to do a BK someday.
WHAT IS HAPPENING???

Ozzie D, NP-hard 
One of the loudest advocacy voices in this case has been NACA (aka the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America), which claims to have coined the term "predatory lending". Given NACA's history, I was surprised they don't have a #Wikipedia page (although one has been created and deleted several times over the last couple of decades).

Via today's Act on Mass newsletter, I learned that the $4 billion economic development bill contained a section which would shield "foreclosure rescue" shared-appreciation mortgage lenders from liability for predatory lending practices and lack of disclosure in their agreements. It seems designed to inoculate BlueHub Capital from a pending class-action lawsuit. Despite outcry from advocacy organizations, Governor Healey left this intact when she signed the omnibus jobs bill last week. BlueHub's CEO has been one of Healey's biggest donors and fundraisers. A bad look.

The #LacDuFlambeau [#LDF] tribe is at the center of a $1B #ClassAction settlement that comes after yrs of fending off claims of #PredatoryLending practices.
