>why am I evicted instead of bailed out?

probably because you, collectively speaking, kept electing people who didn't pass anti-eviction laws or strengthened tenant rights. Which most countries by the way did put in place during covid at the very least.

Because you didn't owe enough money to tank the world economy if you went broke, mainly. Small debtors have no power, but huge debtors do.

I mean small debtors just get to declare bankruptcy and not pay, which is a pretty good power to have. Large debtors have broader obligations to the community.

Yep. If you owe the bank $1,000 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100M that's the bank's problem.

So why don't debtors unionise?
