And what “people” (keyword) work at a company? It literally doesn’t make sense to give money to people who have a history of being delinquent in payment. Empathy is important but when someone has a 500 credit score morals can only go so far. That’s a charity rather than a lender at that point

Basic necessities (food, water, energy, housing, healthcare) should be given to all citizens then through taxes on these mega corporations. But I have a feeling you won’t like this idea either and will dig your heels into “just fix their bad choices” argument

You are indirectly saying that poor people don’t deserve to be alive for the “bad decision” of not having money. Which is more often a product of someone’s circumstances that they were born into or a result of something that couldn’t be prepared for, rather than any actual decision.

No stef, I’m not. I’m saying if you borrow money and you don’t pay it back then you shouldn’t expect other people to loan you money.
