    I can sort of see the logic in choosing not to abide by laws they never agreed to, but spending money (via a credit card) that isn’t theirs and somehow thinking they can just not pay it back is mind-boggling.

      Nearly universally it’s the other way around. They find themselves in terrible credit card debt and that’s what leads them down the rabbit hole of magical and conspiratorial nonsense to escape the debt.

        Well the first step in getting out of severe credit card debt is often closing all of the credit accounts. Stops people from doing stupid things like paying for one card with another card. So hey, it did help them there.

        Up next for the fools… Debt collector hell.

      Treasury Direct Account

      When a baby is born, sovereigns believe that the government funds a secret Treasury account in that baby’s corporate shell name, based on that person’s future earnings. This account can be accessed by writing special checks to pay taxes, mortgage balances and other debts. Sovereigns variously believe the account’s value is between $600,000 and $20 million.

      The government’s only response to these people should be deportation.

      Agree it’s fair to say “I didn’t choose to be born here” but the conclusion of that should be a walk out the door.
