People relied on accounts powered by Synapse for everyday expenses like buying groceries and paying rent, or for saving for major life events like home purchases or surgeries.

I'd be broke a long time ago if I lived the US. Good thing I'm French and a surgery for a life threatening condition, plus 4 month of rehabilitation, costed me a whopping 0€.

I wouldn't call them dumb. Masochist, maybe, but not dumb.

We're not masochists, we're just ruled by sadists.
