Some people have no control over their environment. Suddenly getting laid off isn't a mark of "dishonesty."

It is offensive when "unforeseen circumstances" is casted as "dishonesty." This kind of thing is routinely done to criminalize the poor.

It’s not about dishonesty. That’s my point. It’s likelihood that you will pay back. You can be an honest person and be unlikely to pay me back.
