The return of debtor’s prisons?

I hate this stupid timeline.

IIRC only PA has had one be enforced… On someone in CA no less. Was why we were advised to move grandma closer to us.

I think my parents would genuinely rather be taken out back and old yeller’d than pass on debt like that. They’ve put a lot of effort into paying off credit card debt and paying off their house, and making sure that their Will is in order when they do pass so that I am not dealing with problems like they have with their parents.
