Reply to When you get a loan at the bank, the bank just sells you money for even more money by 1scr3wedy0dad
They’re selling you money NOW for even more money LATER. Many people can’t wait (or don’t want to wait) to earn more money later. They want it now.
And banks control the world cuz of it.

The highs didn’t get higher, but the lows got higher. Why is that?

Fun fact. The Japanese don’t have a separate word for ‘green’ and ‘blue’. They named the part of the visible spectrum that, to English speakers, is between what we call ‘green’ and what we call ‘blue’. What we call a ‘green light’ (on a traffic light) they call ‘blue light’, what we call ‘green apple’ they call ‘blue apple’ etc.
