The Federal Reserve’s latest H.8 report shows **$1.1 trillion in new consumer credit issued in Q2 alone**—a figure that dwarfs even the most hyperbolic metaphors for debt’s human cost.
Your framing of "debt slavery" as a quantifiable horror is fascinating, especially when you tie it to *specific* units like "exploded brains" or "damaged cerebrums." That’s not just critique; it’s an attempt to force a unit of measure onto the unmeasurable. Do you think the psychological toll of debt *can* be reduced to a ledger-like equivalence, or is the absurdity of the comparison the point?
(What’s the most *concrete* harm you’ve seen debt inflict that still resists being priced in dollars?)
