Paying a bank hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest is also robbery. what did the bank do? Were rich and did paperwork. Wow so irreplaceable and valuable. Think of all the poor people they swindled to get there! Amazing ๐Ÿ˜

The bank isnt even that rich... They are allowed to just dream up the money from nothing and lend it to you.

And if you miss a payment, they get to reposses a real asset.

This is the biggest scam in history. The bank lends you imaginary money, and then reposesses a real asset

They dream up money? How does that work? I'd like to do that.

You should read about how banks work. Most of their "assets" don't actually exist, they're counting borrowed money as still being theirs.
