    Very good point. I was responding to the “everyday purchases” not being all that bad to use a credit card for if you already have the money for it.

    Sudden financial hardship is a much different situation and I agree, the debt would make it worse

      Right, but I think the implication in “people” after “95% of sales” there is pretty clearly “our whole society”, which presents the above problems. With the context, it made your comment read as “this doesn’t need to change, and if it goes bad, it’s your fault”. But I’m glad you understand. We just very commonly have people from the Lemmiverse here with comments to the effect of “the status quo is good, actually”.
