  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

he'll make 1.6 trillion, and you all will owe 4.3 trillion.

have fun.

I also assume that because it'll be private loans, that they will be able to take your house, car, food, all the other stuff you own.
