Thanks, Hondo, that's exactly what I saw and was making reference to. I find it amazing, or at the very least, something I certainly wasn't aware of.

Why do they do this? The old answer is probably still the right one, "Because it's there".
I am continually amazed at what people do today because they want to. They must have
more time and money available than most of my generation had/has. I suppose this
present generation must have more and better abilities than mine. I know persons a
third my age that owe big loans for college but are able to go on a cruise or vacation
almost anywhere or anytime. I suppose I am just jealous or envious.

Maybe they are just willing to do something that we were raised not to do - carry ridiculous amounts a debt around their necks.....

Just adding a little different perspective to the conversation.

Mount Everest has a poop problem and it's considered a 'fecal time bomb'

Mount Everest has a poop problem, as the Washington Post reported.

This season, porters have carried 28,000 pounds of human waste from Everest base camp to be dumped in pits at Gorak Shep, a frozen lake bed located 17,000 above sea level, per the newspaper. In the pits, the waste shrivels and dehydrates, according to the outlet.

Stupid for starters and most likely planning on being bailed out of debt in our current culture. Nobody is being held responsible for their decisions. they see Trump using bankruptcy like a checkbook and they are just following the lead. I believe if he was the model of responsibility they would find someone else to follow. It just isn't like it used to be, where your decisions guided your life one way or another. Today, they get do-overs.

My father served in the Pacific during WWII, so he went to school on the G.I. bill. He went to U.S.C., which is/was a private school. They phased out the original G.I. bill in my time, but community colleges, Cal State and U.C. were affordable for California residents. Because of you God damned Reagan worshippers, now everyone has to go into deep debt, just to go to barber school.

This suits the rich psychopaths at the heart of the Republican party to a tee, as now everyone is indebted to them. Oh, you didn't know that they own your school debt? And, that they changed the bankruptcy laws, so that student debt can't be forgiven? You asssholes ffucked this situation, so you fix it, God damn you!

I had to think about that, and picture it, but you're right, Roy. Really clever and creative. And amusing.
