    “Evil” is a pretty OP strategy if you have the stomach for it

    I think they do have the stomach for it. And also smart enough to get away with conning people, to know how to not get in trouble with lawmakers, do that fine print just right etc. They act as if they are helping people by offering easy credit while they know they’re not earning money from people who can easily pay them back. They profit off the least capable to keep their finances in order, living of the weak and vulnerable like parasites do.



  • 1% of the world population is more than 80 million. Them being rich or not isn’t what matters, how the resources are divided is the problem. There is enough space also in Switzerland for many more people but not if all of them are poor and uneducated, nor if all of them are surgeons and lawyers, nor if they all want to start a free roam chicken farm. More equality leads to more perceived space, because low equality leads to people living in small houses in dense cities. But if you’re not from Switzerland it might not really matter what argument i bring up.


  • So imagine 10 people have 100sq units, the billionaire lives on 91 and the other live on 9, it starts to feel really crowded when another person comes in. Best case he is poor and they have to spread the 9sq units among the ten of them. Worst case is this new guy is even richer as the other billionaire. He buys half the billionaires land and half the poor people land. Now the new guy has 51sq units, the other billionaire 45.5sq unit, and only 4.5sq meters for the poor people. Obviously everytime a new guy moves in everybody will scream overpopulation, but is this really because the new guy takes up too much space or because the space was badly divided?

    People are already up to their neck in debt, putting Klarna to the back of the queue in case there’s a default

    People in debt (before there is professional help) end up paying the important things first (such as rent) and then choose to pay off the debt that is most within their reach. Klarna is much more likely to be a low amount compared to their creditors.

    It might be true their loans are more likely to be payed back while also they might have less to loose in case of a personal bankruptcy.

    But that aside, i have no clue on whether Klarna is making a smart move. But i assume they are because companies that are both evil and stupid don’t tend to come far.
