  • If I’m a bank loaning money on auto loans for a major auto brand, I’d only accept the risk if that car is GPS tracked so I can take it back if the borrower stops paying. If automakers won’t make it standard, I’ll just donate to build a ballroom so they’re forced to reduce my risk exposure. But it can’t be one of those cheap Chinese or Russian GPS trackers. It has to be one of those expensive ones that is made by this other company I loan money to. That way they can keep paying on the loan I gave them. Great ROI on that ballroom investment. I’m the best bank ever.













  • They let us borrow some so that we can buy their products and pay them back more. We have to trade our labor to make up the difference between our passive income and current expenses, but they’ll only give us just enough to sustain a population of laborers.

    Some take a risk and borrow wayyyy more than they can really pay back with their own labor and use that money to buy assets that they hope will be successful in integrating with the loop of money. If it’s successful, their assets buy the labor of others to generate income so they pay back the loan and do it all over again.
