    I’m going to blow your little mind here. Have you heard of loans? Maybe he took out loans to try to get himself into a better position?

      You ever tried to take out a loan with no credit or collateral? You ever tried to get one with bad credit?

      Did you think about this at all before you made your snarky response?

        Do you understand how predatory loan companies operate? Their prime demographic is desperate people. Many will give out loans to people with bad credit, just with much higher interest etc.

          I don’t even understand why this is what you focused on from what I said but I’m not doing this.

          The point quite clearly is that this person very likely could have used the money they used to get started working for Uber or Lyft to do something else.

          But even if they hadn’t that doesn’t mean being poor makes you do criminal shit. You can do with this information whatever you want to. I don’t care how you feel about what I said.
