alt Hacker News> "you can't think of an actual working example either"
I gave you the biggest working example in the world, the one where a person definitively has no objective need to take loans and does so anyway because it's deemed advantageous, and what you did in response instead of saying "oh damn, you're right, I did forget that in fact people take loans all the time against assets vs income" was try to rewrite the discussion around how progressives feel about billionaires.
> "people who are actually engaging in this sort of stuff ... either have citizenship, or can buy citizenship"
I am not rich enough to buy citizenship anywhere, and yet here I am. Your estimation of how things work is not complete.
> "so that they're not living in the country undocumented"
This is the second time now in this thread that you've replaced lack of right to work with something else entirely.

Are you forgetting the whole context for this conversation was over people who lack authorization to work but somehow need (and can get) auto loans? Bringing up Elon Musk, who is a US citizen only fulfills half of that requirement. Not to mention he'd be getting a portfolio loan on his stock, which gets him cash, obviating the need for an auto loan specifically. Then you pretend that was the entire argument, and trying to dunk on me for not accepting it.
