The reality where people cannot afford $10-20 things. And the corporations just start charging those poor people interest.
Being poor is expensive.
Of course. How else do you keep poor people poor and rich richer.
Poor people: charge them extra for not affording things.
Rich people: let them buy things they don't need but can afford and then charge poor people to rent those things.
Rich people: just give them expensive stuff in the hopes that they'll buy more expensive stuff from you later.
