I detest credit card companies so they are the first on my list every time.


I’ve worked in the card industry. I have mixed feelings. They are sort of like breweries. They cater to both responsible drinkers and irresponsible drinkers and, truth be told, they make more money when servicing a lot of irresponsible drinkers.

All that being said, credit, when used properly, can be a good thing. Problem is, our country (and the credit industry in general) has become like a brewery and customer base that has become a huge industry dependent on everyone drinking like sailors on shore leave.

That is the problem, and it’s gonna leave a mark.

The figures I've heard bandied about in A.A. is that 10% of drinkers buy 90% of alcohol sold.
