    Cool and then you and your family and loved ones starve, don’t get the medical attention and maintenance they need, same with meds, emergency services, etc.

    Don’t forgot you’re one of the fucking morons living inside and depending on the society you’re gleefully imagining collapse. So many innocents will be killed just from the fall of all of these services and whatnot.

      That requires a court order, could you imagine the shit show the court system would be for companies everywhere to get court ordered wage garnishment against even 50/60% of the population lol shit would grind to a halt

    That’s true and part of me would love to see that, but some utilities (such as water and electric) going under would probably be a bad thing if there wasn’t a plan to swoop in and bring them under public control right away. Otherwise, things would get bad really quick in a lot of places if power and water stopped being available for everyone for an extended time. Things like hospitals, grocery stores, repair shops, etc. would all be working at greatly reduced capacity and capability. Barring a full-on revolution where the people could seize these utilities for public ownership and operate it themselves, I don’t see that happening because the government would be likely to simply bail out a lot of the companies, or they’d be bought up and probably end up being consolidated by an even fewer number of people.

    They’d also stop providing whatever service they provide, which is why nobody will actually follow through on this.

    Reminds me of those chain text messages about kids skipping school. “They can’t give us all detentention!” I don’t remember it ever working though.

      Yes, they absolutely could give you all detention.

      Besides, most kids actually understand the point of school.

    No they wouldn’t
    The second it became clear this was a larger theme they would sell the debt at a premium to the debt collectors
    If it somehow got to the point of hurting a utility or big company government would ride in to the rescue

    It would take years. This is a dumb take. Now not spending our money at big corporations and giving a little extra to the small places WILL help over time. And everyone can survive.

    Jesus Christ now any revolution is accelerationism, huh? And this is the response on Lemmy of all places. We really are doomed.
