  • Not much. You can’t spend enough of their money before they stop your spending and start collecting it.

    How much credit can you get without a high income or a lot of assets? Hopefully much smaller than your mortgage (which is that the 2008 crisis was about).

    Exactly what happens depends on law where you live. Here you’d get a court order: First confiscation of cash or cash equivalents. Second sale of assets, in the end your pay would be garnished. Since not everyone is forced to sell their house (like 2008) the price drop would be smaller but spread across the entire economy.

    Unless you’re willing to illegally work without a contract and only take cash payments they will get their money back.

    Anyone who did not participate in it would have a good time buying cheap stuff in the forced sale.






  • Dabbled in it since 2006. About 2012 i had problems with my network card on windows, flipped out and just installed Linux on my main home computer and have not used windows at home since.

    Started with Ubuntu and it’s flavors, recently had problems with snap packages, flipped out and installed the first non Ubuntuoid distro that promised an easy install so I could get back to whatever I was doing at the time. I currently have Manjaro at home.


  • In my case it was because Ubuntu broke on me for whatever reason (and the threat of snap packages looming).

    I did not feel like putting anymore effort into getting the computer back to working so I just switched to something not Ubuntuoid at semi random to anything that promised an easy installation.

    A year later and it’s still working. I’ll notify you when it breaks so you can tell me “I told you so”.
