Like that subplot in Fight Club, only without explosives.

Beautiful.

Interesting...

I don't know the details of Fight Club, but between Kickstarter, microlending, and now this, it's inspiring to see.

I only vaguely remember details, but the main character was involved somehow in a plot to derail the entire banking system by blowing up their headquarters. (Which wouldn't work, since most keep their servers offsite like reasonable businesses, but authorial fiat in a Palahniuk novel can shove through some strange things.)

This plan, though? This is just as viscerally satisfying, without anyone having to die for it.

And they're apparently going after medical debt first!

On a completely different note, it really startled me last night how my current therapist's ideas about reprogramming my responses to certain situations match up with your philosophy. It's definitely different, having a psych professional offer solutions that work, and who acknowledges that anger can actually be useful and healthy... a good kind of different, not an alarm-signaling one.
