How do you rack up 500k in loans without telling your prodigy that they better do something with it or else its going to fuck everyone up? Like if they didnt go to become lawyers or surgeons then they essentially self sabotaged their entire family.

Time to move abroad and renounce citizenship (if that works, idk)

Lets all give a round of applause for the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 for almost single handedly fucking over a generation. Its tough but it get shit done. Without it, Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac wouldnt be where they are today.

And move where? No one wants us unless we’re super successful. And if we were we’d pay off our loans. Don’t think the sovereign citizen shit works.

Non-US expat living in Asia here. It's crazy how easy it seems for US citizens / westeners to get jobs overseas compared to people from developing nations. I can tell you, if you have a teaching license and developed country's passport there are international schools all over the world willing to pay you well plus living and travel expenses.

Sovereign citizen? 🤣 You think my lazy comment that even calls itself so (via “idk if this works”) means I’m on a sovereign citizen conspiracy?

Lately man I tell ya, Lemmy is on another fucking level. One minute I’m a crazy vegan and the next I’m a sovereign citizen. What is wrong with people

Calm down buddy, nobody called you a sovereign citizen. The comment above yours is just saying that trying to renounce citizenship but not being able to emigrate (since nobody else wants us) would leave only the option of sovereign citizenship, which obviously doesn't really work or solve anything.

Stop looking for something to feel offended about and read properly.

It was a joke. And it’s wasn’t directed at you. I hope things are well. I’m not a vegan but I appreciate vegans wholeheartedly.
