i tend to agree, but a ‘purchase’ is not the same thing as a ‘debt’.
“but a ‘purchase’ is not the same thing as a ‘debt’.”
Yes it is... That is what the government wants us to think but it is absolutely false.
debt: noun
1: something owed : obligation
2: >a state of being under obligation to pay or repay someone or something in return for something received< : a state of owing
^^^^^^^^^^ (Applies to anything and everything purchased once you “agree to purchase”.)
3: law and business : the common-law action for the recovery of money held to be due
4: sin, trespass
Forgive us our debts.

Once you take possession of it from the shelf, it's a debt you owe until you pay for it at the register.
And, if you pay by credit card it remains a debt until you pay down the balance on the card.
