Don't do it OP, traveling and broadening your mind might make you enjoy life and then you'd not be so nonchalant about deleting yourself. You might end up on prison, where you'll suffer doubly due to your newfound love of life and freedom! Better semi-suffer in an empty existence for the rest of your life like most others.
Or like, just stay on a foreign beach with your embezzled money and a drink in your hand and never come back. Actually seems like the best option overall...
Dang, why not.
Sometimes thats the attitude it takes
At that point why not just declare bankruptcy? If he was couch surfing then he had no assets to lose. Sure bankruptcy fucks your credit for a while but it's better than having nothing and still having your wage garnished. That's literally the situation that bankruptcy exists for. If you somehow get yourself in a truely irrecoverable amount of debt then it's your get out of jail relatively free card.
Ahh, so he did a bunch of fraud. The reason the government was writing blank cheques was because people were dying in the millions and businesses were failing left and right. He's lucky he's not in prison.
I'm glad he's doing better now, but I can't help but think of the people who needed that money and might not have gotten it in time (or maybe at all) because of what he did. Does he ever think about that, do you know?
I'm really glad that he's aware of the moral implications of what he did.
Doesn't sound like you are though. I mean, you just admitted he committed fraud in order to appropriate money meant for people who actually needed it, and now:
You serious, dude? You're aware that I didn't commit fraud during the pandemic, right? And it wasn't hard either, I just didn't apply for relief I wasn't eligible for. You're aware he wasn't scamming a bank, he was scamming people in need?
It's okay to make mistakes, but he is lucky he's not in prison, and if he can own what he did like an adult then so can you.
If we all did this capitalism would collapse.
"if we all stopped working and just did drugs and hookers the economy would collapse" is not that deep of a thought.
Yeah, but it being a desirable outcome is a bit novel.
Sounds like we should all do this.
Its all part of the risk calculation that's made by the loan companies that make these credit offers to those deemed to be high credit risk.
Who they really are trying to hook are people who live paycheck to paycheck and keep rotating a balance of old loan balances and newer loan balances because between origination fees, interest, late fees and any other BS fees they decide to tack on they can make absolute bank indefinitely off of folks who struggle with budgeting and are constantly one surprise away from taking on more debt. Alternatively its folks who think in terms of monthly payments and nothing else
Clearly not, because $country did all this shit, and capitalism did not collapse, somehow...this time.
Not problems ending up ON prison, you just jump down the side.
Hope you've got some of that broken leg serum
