Blog Post #5 Reflection On "Poverty Business"

After I read the 'Poverty Business" I believe that these companies destroy the opportunity divide. They manipulate ignorant people and make it so they are stuck trying to pay back money they already owe, on top of becoming in debt with the company that claims that they will "help". However, I look at it both ways. The companies are definitely being scandalous, but at the same time you can't completely blame the company. Some of the blame lies on the customer. As a customer you need to know who you’re dealing with. If you don't understand something it’s your job to ask questions. Ignorance will not save you. Nobody is going to be sympathetic about you not knowing. Also, everybody should know to never sign a legal document without reading it, fine print and all. You could be selling your soul and not even know! These companies are doing only what everyone in the world wants to do, which is make money! It’s all a hustle, if you get caught in it that's your fault. It’s morally wrong, but obviously its legal so you can't be too upset. You can be scammed by anyone at any time; these companies aren't doing anything new.
