Because if the debtors don't get let off they will gather en masse, kill the rich people and take their stuff.  Better to let them off before they can muster.

Why does working hard and saving not reward those that do, while debtors who cost everyone money get let off?

Because once they've declared bankruptcy they can only loan out a few grand at a time..


Plus you get a sad face on your credit score.

the debtor made their own prison, now they work to pay off their debt to the state, failure to do so will only increase the debt, leaving you in a state of despair likely to go crazy or commit a crime that will in turn generate more money for the state ... i think they call it residual income.

It dosent.  Debtors prison exists.  If you think it dosent you arent looking hard enough.  No youre no shackled to a medieval cell but this is very much alive.  Save that bootstrap shit for the chamber of commerce meeting.

if you are forced to wake up and do something you do not like or do not want to do to survive(because most of us dont thrive we survive) than yeah thats forced labor imo, i.e. communist Cuba everybody is poor, but if you do not work you will not starve, if anybody has been to Cuba you will note that there are no homeless people, a problem we know all to well in the states

I spent three months living out of a backpack in Jamaica.  Nobody was starving, they were poor but they ate hella better than in the US.  The food market was amazing, prices of super fresh veggies super cheap.  So yeah, I can imagine in Cuba it's similar.  People grow food and stuff then take a little "money" to buy their necessities and if everything is inexpensive nobody is poor.  Jamaica routinely wins track events, those dudes/chicks are what's known as "athletes".  Eating well is a part of that.

Now that I think of it, Cuba has also been a powerhouse in terms of athletics, given their size.

yup i been to Jamaica i can vouch that their food is A1

good point in these countries money is mainly for clothes bills and what not, i know in Cuba if you live in the rural area you're eating strictly off your land and trading with your neighbors life stock, fruits and veggies for what you lack, we can imagine it as hard or even fantasize about it as easy but thats just a part of living the human experience, sowing and reaping natures rewards

now here is all about the dollar dollar bills yalls and is my credit score 720? i gotta buy a disguise for my friends to notice me lol its a game you gotta have fun hehehe
