nahh thats old skool.. here in the UK we have payday loans at 10,000%.. and you know what, no ones doing anything about it - i wonder who's behind these scams..

in the UK we have alot of writing and small prints.. you get charged for missing bills on anything possible, then we have companies who specialise in buying these outstanding debts to reclaim it as profit..
we have CREDIT AGENCIES that apparently give us CREDIT SCORES. to view it each time we pay $20. to improve we must make applications to credit cards and increase our loans and credit limits.
on streets of london parking ticket officers work extraordinary well. the law and order of tax and penalties work very efficiently. lottery, casinos, gambling, forget vegas that's old school compared to here.. poker clubs, on the road, on tv, on the net, u name it..
u have major banks advertising for "advance" accounts where you pay them monthly a fee to have current account. you get some useless offers and your outrageous interest fee is reduced by 0.0001%.
The whole country is a scam. there are 1000 laws that protect scammers in this country. be it the car insurance industry or health insurance companies that always find a way to get out of their contracts on a claim. you have lawyers that give you advice at $300/hour cheapest.
you have a debt-controlled society. people with debt abide by laws well. you get 20 letters everymonth reminding you on the interest you will pay or debt you owe. they're very well organised.
in london you dont have jobs where you make anything. most jobs involve tasks that are meaningless. government introduces laws regulatory bodies for nothing but it creates jobs. you have people in jobs to find jobs for others. you have regulatory bodies for every industry that hardly set any standard or act on anything. you have television shows that rip off viewers with fake competitions and other scams. you now have 'street guards' - to work along the police walking around the city without any power.. you already have cameras on every road, bus, train with someone with the 'job' of watching them.
this country has nothing left. you have a royal family here that pretty much own much of the real estate and that's bout it.
