    There isn’t a lack of wealth in the world. It’s just hoarded by a few covetous billionaires. Sounds like it’s time for a redistribution. Your survival is on the line.

    Take a boomer with you to cosign a shit ton of loans. Go to college, get your cancer treated, whatever; then flee the country to a less shitty part of the world. You get a better quality of life, and the debt goes back to the ones that fucked us! Win win!

    (normally I can’t stand using the /s, but just in case it needs to actually be said, this is not a serious comment)
