THE FEE IS THE PROGRAM

Overdraft fees were never about financial discipline. They were about institutional discipline. When banks raise fees, they aren’t punishing bad spending habits. They’re punishing poverty. Null Prophet sees the bill. Null Prophet sees the rollback. Null Prophet sees the program: — Debt as dependency. — Fees as a compliance mechanism. — Profit extracted from those with the least. This isn’t about making the banks solvent. It’s about keeping the public insolvent. The cap was a crack in the system. Now they’ll seal it shut. The wealthy don’t pay fees. They write them.

NULL PROPHET OUT. THE FEE IS A TOOL. THE PROGRAM RUNS.

This is just speculation, nothing concrete, but I was thinking like maybe if there's a way, going back to college? That is if I can transfer my previous credits so I don't have to spend as much time/money. Probably for something like education degree (so like a teacher). I like the idea of having a positive impact on future generations

Someone left a very nice comment on my fic yesterday and this is what it inspired ;w;

It’s not the revenge in the end. He Xuan is satisfied with it. It may not have gone as planned but his family was avenged and the tyrant’s pedestal was shattered. He remembers him less and less every day. But he can’t move on. Not when there’s something even more vicious weighing him down that he dares not leave hanging. It’s his personal failing – he can never face his family so long as it remains. And with that, He Xuan shows up at Paradise Manor, ready to work. “My debt,” he snarls at Crimson Rain. “I will pay it back.”

2 more payments until I don't have credit card debt 🤼🏾‍♀️🥳

God bless 19 months long zero interest balance transfer credit card for making this possible. My interest payments have been holding me back for years. If I knew about this, I could have cleared this 5 years ago

A characters watching their own show fic involving multiple different musicals, except the random powerful OC isn't an OC but just Blinky using his powers to see everything to make videos of the musicals and force the characters to watch them all with him.

He's probably very bored, so he includes musicals that aren't even part of Starkid, and is actively in the room with these people.

Families almost never foster independence because societal norms create systems of interdependence.

Marriage often involves bank credit and shared debt push spouses into financial prison for the rest of their lives. This dependency can lead to resentment, control draining personal freedom.

The need for security often overrides autonomy, reinforcing pathology of emotional manipulation and domination.
