If one kid on the playground asks another kid to loan him 12$ and be paid back the same 12$ three months from now the offer be regarded as absurd. Even if the borrower could guarantee the lender that the money would be paid back, the kid asked to lend would rather have that 12$ in his pocket than a promise of 12$ in three months. So they negotiate, come to an agreement. The kid who loans gets interest to compensate for delaying consumption and the risk of borrower defaults. It seems perfectly fair.
Variants of this basic story have existed in every society which has had money. They've existed long before the you-know-who. The anti-interest people don't have a coherent vision for the society they want to create. I see two basic options:
1. Without interest rates, no one lends anyone else money(excluding to family members) and no one is able to borrow money.
2. Other people are forced by the government to loan you money.
Variant 1. would crash the economy. I don't see a meaningful difference between variant 2. and the ghetto thot demanding her food stamps. At least she's honest about wanting a handout.
>inb4 you like Jeff Bezos.
I'd be fine with raising taxes on corporations and the wealthy and reducing them for middle class workers.(I'm sure TrumpCucks will tell me that means I have no job) I'm not fine with us all acting like ghetto naggers. Personal responsibility matters. You took out the loan? PAY BACK THE DAMN LOAN!
i agree except for those "PayDay Loans" and "Title Loans" scams that charge 500% interest per year. there must be limits. 24% per year max like credit cards.

All usurers deserve death. Parasitic bankers deserve death.
Matthew Peterson
People are retarded and don't understand the destructive capacity of compounding interest.
I'm all for loans of a set period with a set flat fee.
Robert Lopez
Usury is about unreasonable interest rates, not reasonable ones. The real problem is price fixing through mandatory Gov programs that end up making loans a requirement to do anything
Jack Stewart
The only reason why you believe this is because usury is normalized to you. Had you grown up in a world without it, it'd be a foreign concept to you and you wouldn't be shilling for it. You can't refute this either.
Cooper Martinez
Bait thread.
Your example assumes the loaner was using private money. In reality, money is conjured from NOTHING and loaned out with interest.
This is wrong and immoral.
Andrew Cruz
You're ignoring lots of factors here.
Companies have different bargaining power than individuals.
Why does a private entity have to borrow someone the money? Why dont americans borrow directly from treasury department at 0 zero interest?
Wyatt Johnson
This.
Interest-free loans accorded to those in need work very well, especially for student debt.
Americans just don't believe in helping eachother out and acting as a united country, they'd rather see their less fortunate struggle while they hide out in private communitites.
Logan Fisher
Things like foreclosures would be a thing of the past, Everyone with a sensible business idea would have access to capital, The economy would boom (Not the stock market)
Eli Morales
because the monetary system is scam
that is not private businesses fault
Matthew Reyes
How much boomer money is bound up in buying student debt?
Brandon Torres
What are you talking about? That has nothing to do with what I said?
Owen Foster
>You can't refute this either.
I guess not. And in Orthodox Jewish society eating pork is considered an abomination.
We can still debate whether the prohibition is logical.
Brandon Watson
>Everyone with a sensible business idea would have access to capital
In other words, a lot of waste.
Brandon Walker
Because the treasury department would lose money thanks to opportunity cost and defaulters. Who'd pay for it? You would.
Ian Reed
What does a pepper have to offer
Connor Young
Theyd borrow momey directly to the people at the current 1.75% interest rate they give to banks. They wouldnt lose any more money than they do now because people wouldnt be struggling to back banks (private entitys) at extortionate interest rates.
John White
Also the fed is perfectly capable of just writing off loses cause they just print the money and dont owe anything to anyone. Germany went from 3rd world shit hole to most powerful country on planet earth in a few years doing this. Thats literally why WW2 happened.
Adam White
Ursury allows capital to be allocated more efficiently. The problems around it are when those who allocate the capital gain political power and abuse it. Defaulting on debt should not have a negative stigma and political help to the borrower and borrowee should not be allowed. They both must pay for their poor risk assessment.
Tyler Butler
Treasury* I know its cool to bash commie but the current federal reserve banking system is just designed to consolidate power and wealth in the hands of the already extremely powerful and wealthy
Michael Wood

I lived in the islamic world, and lending money for interest is forbidden explicitly under sharia law. There are many "islamic" banks that will not give you interest on your deposit because it's forbidden- with the understanding that they themselves will not lend your money for interest. In the same way members may receive interest free loans for productive enterprise like building homes or starting businesses.
Jack Clark
Interest implies a fixed commodity and thus interest is charged to be comparable to what this money could generate in the market.
With this in mind, one could argue that all interest is usurious as it would imply infinite growth from money lent. One could argue that any money lent with a rate higher than market return is usurious as that receiver cannot truly outperform market return in the long run. Regardless, one should ask what the goal of lending should be? To make money for banks? To foster business? To provide liquidity for individuals?
With this in mind, why not use an Islamic model?
Colton Powell
You dont print money to create wealth like the africans do, You just print it to create private debt.
>???
Jace Wood
debt free loans faggot debt free currency faggot
fucking newrag

What if the government just loaned you money and taxed you on your profits? No fees. no interest.
Caleb Thompson

I hope you know that people like crowder get heavy investment from private entities OP. He would never bite the hand that feeds him.
Elijah Lee
It isn't private debt, though. It's how modern economies work. Nazi Germany did the same thing with the labour backing.
Charles Morales
what's the difference between public and private money
Evan Parker
Exactly so instead of labour backing, Just use debt straight from the treasury? Borrowing the money to banks for them to borrow it to the people just consolidates power for private entities.
Blake Flores
fuck off kike
Angel Lee
they don't end the fed under article 1 section 8 clause 5 the congress shall have the power to coin money fix the standard weights and measures and of foreign coin etc.
James Rivera
The public(Treasury) borrow money to private entities so the private entities can borrow it back to the public(People) Its a stupid system made to rip off the working people.
Jayden Wright
>Just use debt straight from the treasury? But where is that debt coming from? What's backing it?
Adrian Ramirez
>Variant 1. would crash the economy. I don't see a meaningful difference between variant This is why you’re a filthy you know who. You’d actually have an honest estimate of the actual economy rather than your nonsense. Fuck you you usurious pice of shit. You will be first against the wall.
Robert Rivera
#2 happens anyway, and then the taxpayer is forced to bail the bank out.
I'd be fine with usury with limits. You take out a $200 loan? You can be made to pay a maximum of $400 on it. The guy who loaned you can get up to a 100% return.
On the flip-side, I think you're due reimbursement if you miss a payment and have property repossessed. If you're 50% paid off on your house and they then take your whole house, you should get 50% of the house value back (as such, you can make money if you improve it, or miss out if you trash it). It's mortgage, it's not rent to own.
Michael Morgan
Oh goy ,we own all houses. Jew now prices houses where they cannot be bought without loan. Oh goy, boy it sure good thing you able to get loan from me to buy house. And there you have the "housing" market.
Levi Cox
Gold, Oil, Silver, Fucking meme coins could be a very good solution thinking about it.
Jason Peterson
Couldn't you just say "Here's $12 but you got to pay me back $15 in return" without any compounding interest?
Christian Ross
Horseshit. $100 return get the fuck out of here. If you want to loan someone $200 to start a business the business owner gives up 10% of the company. Maximum. That way you still have actual risk of both the borrower and the lender.
Ethan Thompson
What about selling debt?
Cooper Cox
The treasury just sets up its own crypto. Wtf, I've figured it out. Take this idea and run with it for a better future America! I dont wanna get whacked so I'm gonna leave it at that and go sleep.
Luis Miller
Too limited for anything bigger than Lichtenstein. KSA only manages on oil because it's the world's leading exporter. It's no coincidence that we have to use entire national production now.
Nathaniel Murphy
Debt is sold after the creation of it.

Brandon Bell
>So they negotiate, come to an agreement. You (borrower) don't negotiate the loan. It is take it or leave it. And the lender exploits how much you "need" the loan. If they already haven't conspired to get you into that desperate need. You sound like one of the Who Moved My Cheese simpletons.
>f one kid on the playground asks another kid to loan him 12$ and be paid back the same 12$ three months from now the offer be regarded as absurd. no? i've done this plenty of times, but maybe it's because my friends werent repulsive little kikels
Lucas Scott
>You took out the loan? PAY BACK THE DAMN LOAN! Ah yes, the example of Student Loans. Most Western Civilization countries (including Israel) have Free College programs. And all during the 80s-90s, anyone could hear on the news how the cost of college education was being manipulated upwards, and being breathlessly reported by the MSM as if it was new Stock Markets heights.
Leo Powell
We need hard laws regarding interest limits.
Tyler Wood
except those are high-risk short-term loans. the companies that actually try to accrue interest for an entire year are predatory, but many of them only charge so much because they offer credit to people that cant get a loan at a bank or credit union, and only need money for a few days or weeks. if people cant pay the loan they shouldnt get it. maybe legislation shouldnt be about stopping the loan companies, maybe it should be about stopping people who aren't competent enough to borrow from borrowing
Elijah Gutierrez
That's negotiation
Luke Ross
>10% of the company >Trading hard value for speculative value >Implying this won't be used to jew your shit
Brayden Taylor
The banking system is built on fraud. Promissory notes, loans, savings, its all based on a giant shell game because of fiat currency. The paper only has value because the bank says it does, the value is not backed by something of actual worth. If the paper had actual tangible value, like the old US silver certificates, then that would be a different story. But as it stands now, interest is generated an a piece of paper for no other reason then the banks say so.
