The propaganda has done it's job here, because your base assumption is that dealing with climate change is a cost.

But all the research suggests dealing with climate change is the cheaper option.

There's complexities there but you're effectively saying that you're too poor to pay off a credit card. Okay, but your only going to get poorer by not engaging with reality.

Yes, that is a reasonable base assumption. When in doubt, it's a reasonably safe bet that people have chosen the cheapest and most effective path to something. It isn't always true, but it's true more often than not.

You can label it anyway you want, if you want pay it with all your credit cards be my guest, but one thing for sure is that paying for it even more is not going to make me any richer or even elevate my living standards. That’s the hard reality. Normal people are F’ed either way so absolutely no incentive for me to care at all

Not paying off your credit cards makes you poorer
