💯Credit card debt was already growing, so unless the purchasing was all done by the people profiting off this corrupt regime, it just got even worse.

Yep. You'll never change their mind. That's not why they come *here*, and it's not why they exist in any other space either. They're not open to learning or understanding anything from someone else's lived experience (or even objective facts that contradict what they want to believe).
