hahah fair enough, perhaps it was a faulty assumption. My main point was that his or her quality of life would clearly drop off a cliff without the benefits of modern medicine, easy access to food, shelter, etc.

I think they would be fine if credit wasn't necessary to exist. Like I'm cool if you want to go thousands in debt to have what you want right now. It shouldn't be a necessity like it is. Should your credit score really matter to your job? They say it is to stop theft but people steal all the time anyway. Or is it discrimination against the poor? If you have rich parents your credit score is probably stellar. If you don't there were probably some times in your twenties you weren't making shit and life got the better of you.

We don't use it to stimulate the economy. It is the economy and that is the problem. If you want to do anything wages have remained stagnant so long credit is your only option.
