Having worked for debt collection in the past, usually what happens is your debt is eventually sold off to another company for pennies to the dollar, and they just hope they can browbeat you into paying

It's a middle-class and lower-class tax, 100%. And I mean, the US is the biggest consumer country in the world. If they want to stop buying shit, cool, buy less shit. Otherwise, they need to be aware that

I had a saying years ago, when I really needed to get my shit together: "If I'm stupid enough to think it, I should be smart enough to do it". Now, this is specifically for things that would

Thank you!

Thanks dude!

ahahah the staring eyes with the fangs and a single paw up is such a fantastic photo LOL what a character!
