You're Making Us All Look Bad

A guy got a lot of publicity in Canada for going to extremes to pay off his mortgage in three years. Lots of atta-boys and congratulations, right? Oh, no, not at all. In fact, he got nothing but Internet hate posts. And doxxing. And idiot articles in Slate damning him for working hard and paying off his debt instead of wallowing in misery, because it sent a message that people's money problems are their own fault and that can't stand, since we need, you know, to overthrow capitalism or something, who knows. But the bottom line is that the public doesn't want to hear that they can take charge of their own destiny and, working hard and foregoing unnecessary things, be debt-free. HOW DARE HE. (CBC)
