Yeah sure. People who can’t pay hospital bills and default and destroy their credit can save enough to buy houses and cars straight cash.
You should probably reread the thread.

Their only value is for loans and credit.
Incorrect. But let’s assume you are. This means you cannot: Buy a house, buy a car, take out a loan, get a credit card. For expanded uses, you cannot potentially: keep a credit card, rent a car, rent a home, get a job. Credit scores are made up bullshit invented in the 80s to hurt poor people. But they are still used to, get this, hurt poor people. Rich people don’t have credit scores because they have collateral for all their loans that’s a lot more liquid than a house.
The issue is that wizards can instantly wage a guerilla war. All it takes is Muggle Studies being taken seriously and integration in muggle society. Then it’s impossible to identify them. Wandless magic could be a focus to be certain you’re never carrying an identifying marker.
Then the wizards don’t need to attack. They can destabilize the economy by duplicating money, precious resources, etc. These will deteriorate eventually but cause chaos and devalue the economy for a time. Imagine taking a $100 bill and just duplicating it to prop up your car-wash business as a front. But that’s baby-level chicanery.
The real sauce is the mind-control. Imperio (who cares if it’s unforgivable when you’re at war?) and more importantly the Memory Charm and False Memory spells. Let’s just get in there, stun a very important person (start low, work up) and insert the memories you need to get them to act accordingly. Remove the memories of that transaction and boom! Access to the most powerful people in the world and the ability to influence them. Now a wizard has their finger (remotely) on the nuclear button!
Seriously. Voldemort was an idiot. He used basic terror tactics for years and the only reason he wasn’t killed quickly was because Magical Britian was written to be as stupid as possible because Rowling was writing a children’s story about incompetent leaders.
They are attempting to extract as much wealth as possible before the collapse. I don’t know what they’re planning on doing with money if a collapse happens. Even a partial collapse would cause massive inflation making their dollars worthless if they don’t transfer it out to something else. Unfortunately the Petrodollar exists so it’s likely the collapse of the US dollar would trigger worldwide collapse.
The reason in books: muggles will oppress or kill them, falls flat in the face of their overwhelming power. And the fact that they’ve never had much is an issue.
Taunting the general public. Always a winning move.
And it still gave me 800Mbps consistently right at launch time. Good servers.
My friend there’s a lot of porn. And if you like the interactivity, there’s a lot of good porn games now. Check itch.io. The few seconds of titillation is not why most people are playing these games.
Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.
It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they’ve been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it’s getting more posts recently.
He probably thought it’d humanize him to be so quirky and silly!
Agreed. Not doing the least bit of research and choosing an edgy name makes this seem extremely amateurish.
I’d like to see a comedy where the Snow White story is playing out but the dwarves and woodland beings all choose Terry Crews. He’s like, “Nah guys. I’m a carpenter. I think you’ve got the wrong person.”. But they aren’t hearing it and strongarm Terry into the role. The evil queen is the only other person to get it and they have to team to to fix the story.
