At around the 10 minute mark, feel free to skip to 37 minutes if you wanna cut some excess financial history lessons and stick to the point about Klarna (I have a tendency to ramble, sorry.)
TL;DR (or DL), Klarna is bad but it serves a need. More importantly, it's a harbinger of the financial crisis people are currently facing and an even bigger one on the horizon. For anyone who is a Xennial, older Millennial, Gen X'r or Boomer, you might remember the word "layaway." Yup, this is the same thing and that's totally bad and listen to the pod to find out why! Yay!
