Burrito Now, Pay Later: DoorDash - Klarna Deal Feeds US Debt Addiction

The reactions online to this 'deal' force me to classify this as 'humor.'
Excerpt:
"We've reported on many indications of a faltering US economy being propped up by debt, but our latest entry is particularly emphatic: DoorDash has inked a deal with Klarna that will let cash-strapped consumers pay for restaurant food, groceries and other delivery orders in four equal, interest-free installments, or "at a more convenient time, such as a date that aligns with their paycheck schedules."
...
“They’re called DoorDash Default Swaps.”
...
"So then they securitized all the DoorDash loans and sliced them into tranches to sell off to the banks

Rating agencies were slapping AAA on Chick-fil-A orders for credit scores under 500 who didn’t leave a tip"

Build Back Better, eh?

    So then they securitized all the DoorDash loans and sliced them into tranches to sell off to the banks 2005 to 2008 mortgages?

    Rating agencies were slapping AAA on ....... Watch the big equity companies, at present, for debt repackage as in the above.

        The Fed already pumped in 4.5b. Will Trump hold the banks accountable or paralyze them under emergency power? This could be a very bad ride over the next year or two. I'm prepared for anything except fallout and bio/chem widespread. At best guess, I'm one of a dozen, in a county of 80k, that may be seeing and understanding this dynamic.

        The Fed and all the satellites need to collapse. I hope there is a plan for control. Too many variables for me to track with my tech.

    I can't wrap my head around this. Are we this close to economic Armageddon?

      Could several generations have never learned the hazards of debt ?
      I don't recall being bombarded with advertising for credit when I was young,
      (and my parents did constantly emphasize why carrying debt could be unwise.)

        Yeah...My family lived within our financial means. It wasn't all great times all the time. But, you don't need a new car every year and a toy hauler full of expensive stuff to have a good family life. I remember being shocked when I entered my 20s and seeing all the shiny new cars my contemporaries were driving. I was the weirdo. Haha...
