The short version is that debt isn’t always bad.

A lot of things make money into more money, whether it’s a market investment, a business, or even a lucky gamble. They can fluctuate, but the ones that stick around typically return a reliable percentage.

A debt is generally money that you get to have and use, but probably have to pay interest on.

If you have a reliable way to turn money into more money at a specific rate and that rate is higher than the interest rate on your debt, then that debt is a wise decision to take on.

    I can’t speak for all jobs, but shadowing is an effective tool and I’d be shocked if it isn’t pretty commonly applied. Not always in an apprenticeship sort of way to learn from scratch, but certainly to better understand the nuances of a role.

    Yeah I think ignorance isn’t itself a crime, but willful ignorance, callous disregard, moral/ethical laziness, and similar drivers of complacency can be considered problems worth assigning some degree of responsibility. So the goal should be to isolate one of those root causes before going on the offense.

    I have a question. Who cares what average people think about the potential future outcome of the election??? Poll my cats for all I care. This is useless information that casts ignorant poll participants as electoral strategists.
