I’m not sure if I agree with this but I’m willing to discuss.
I could default on all my debts that are beyond my means tomorrow, but due to privilege I would still have a roof over my head and be able to put food on the table.

There are a number of LDC movies I like, but…I guess it’s time.
Meet and greet with the president of the US.
Danish countries.
