Strangely as if it were a sign of time, the National Film Preservation Foundation is going to re-release a silent movie from 1912 called "The Usurer's Grip. Sure the director was aiming his venom at loan sharks, people charging more than the banks. But what is better in your opinion: multiple loans at various usurious rates ranging from 5% to 30% or one loan at 180%?
The response is easy: one works slower to bring you down than another.
The human nature only reacts when seriously threatened (which this is why most of the population is not violent). This time again, the collison course is set to happen and there is nothing we can do about it. Soon, we'll have to stand up against "the loan shark lobby" and "the Armageddon gang"... and understand why ending debt slavery must become priority number #1 if Mankind is destined to survive. The right to choose is now up to us. Let's not forget that wars have always been made possible through the ability to borrow/raise taxes and this alone should be enough to implement the dismantlement of world standing armies. Peace and human sovereignty are above all an economic matter.
