    The printer broke. They keep calling Walmart but the printers are on back order from China.

    I owe you $20 for posting this! There I just added more money to the economy because creating debt is effectively the same thing as printing more money.

    I will write it off on my taxes since I owe it to you and you will write it off on your taxes because I haven’t paid you yet so it’s a business loss to your shitposting business.

      I’m officially investing $1000 into your debt selling businesses! How many shares do I owe you for?

        If you give me $1,000 I can flip it for -$7,000 in debt (or 700 in Debt Shares) which you can use to prove to the bank that someone at some point trusted you enough to give you a $7,000 debt line which proves you are good for at least $10,000.

            Wow the economy is booming! This is how it is done! Opportunities already trickling down for everyone to invest. Who knew a little entrepreneurial spirit could create all this value in our community?

    But they can and do. Previously:
