    Because buying shit is addictive, and credit card companies exploit people with poor impulse control. Most people don’t know how compound interest works either.

      I wonder if it would be best to implement some sort of rule where if someone has more than $1000 building up interest on a card they can’t use the card anymore until it’s been paid off in full. Or if that would just funnel people to predatory lenders and loan sharks.
