Grab a mortgage at your bank? You're locked in for three decades, watching interest compound while your paycheck gets smaller every year. Get caught robbing the same bank? A decade tops, you're back on the street. The math here is actually pretty wild—it makes you wonder what the real crime is sometimes. Traditional finance really does have a funny way of making poor people poorer over the long haul.

Really, a 30-year mortgage versus a 10-year bank robbery—this comparison is mind-blowing and terrifying upon closer reflection.

ngl this logic is brilliant, 30 years of interest exploitation vs 10 years of bank robbery, systemic plunder is the ultimate crime

Banks are really legitimate scam organizations; everyone can see that, it's blatant.
