> a quick scan of TikTok and you’ll find trendy young people casually blowing hundreds or thousands of dollars on clothes and jewelry, <

TikTok is run by ChiComs. And I’m guessing that those young people are buying tons of Chinese clothes and jewelry.

The 19th century was the British century.
The 20th century was the American century.
The 21st century will be the Chinese century. You betcha.

And I’ve wondered how many of those folks use ubereats to deliver food to their places, some even cooked, instead of shopping or cooking. I’ll bet when they get ready to retire their song will be I can’t live on Social Security payout. The government has to do something to help me maintain my standard of living.

I don’t follow influencers on tik tok, but judging by the increased amount of stuff for sale on my local buy/sell groups, people are realizing the bad times have arrived.

...TikTokers have a tip: Just use “buy now, pay later” services, the hottest new way to take on debt.

Oh, you mean like student loans?

...all you need to do now is complete your four payments.

And if not, everyone can watch your social credit score crumble. Especially the chicoms.

“’Buy now, pay later’ is sending the TikTok generation spiraling into debt, popularized by San Francisco tech firms”

How can this be? I thought the “TicTok generation” consisted in 8 and 9 year olds. My thought is created by watching a few of the TicToc videos.

Oh look, it’s ray-ciss, too:

“Fountain also pointed out that people of color — already much more burdened by debt than white people — are especially likely to use the services. An analysis by financial data firm Morning Consult found that 28% of Black and Hispanic Americans signed up for at least one point-of-sale loan in January 2022, compared with 14% of white Americans. “

While idiotic liberals panic over “climate change” or “gun violence”, it’s narcissism that will destroy this generation.
