I put farms inside restaurants, so everyone gets healthier, tastier salads. Clayton Farms 🥗(YC W19). I'm running my 23rd ultramarathon in Sept, going FTW.

I can get the argument financing options for food are good because in theory they increase availability, but in reality I'm sure the interest rates are borked and it's a massive strain long term, especially at this rates, imo it's hard to say it's a net good

It's not even the financing food part that's bad it's the numbers 

Up 11% on number of people financing

Up 7% on the year on people being late

60% of people financing food had multiple loans at one, and a quarter of those had three or more

There's absolutely zero way any of this specially is good or substantial or a sign of a healthy working class

@mooneymillions thinks financing food is good 🤷‍♂️

i wonder the socioeconomic and ethnicity factors in america, indonesia has been plagued with this for the past 5-7 years

Credit cards are for buying food and paying medical bills

Others likely just outright using credit cards.

We’re already in a recession, imo, it’s just not offical

I walk right, throught the door, walk right through the door

this is way worse than i thought. like dystopia disguised as normal life

Wild times. People out here financing groceries and still struggling to keep up. Late-stage capitalism looks like this
