Truly disgusting taking advantage of someone in need. I get the Co making some money on the deal but to enslave the customer is just wrong.

If the state is in bed with the crooks then use local government to ban them in you town.

Loan sharking has almost always been illegal, and for good reason. Taken as a snapshot in time a payday loan could be defended as useful, but over time they suck money out of the communities that can least afford it and give it to the rich motherfuckers who use it to entrench their position.

Sift of the week.

I really like how this show handles one big topic every week. I wonder if Jonny Stu is mad for him stealing his schtick?
