diagram featuring a crude illustration of a spider, labeled two ways: "How People Think You ID Spiders" indicates "uhh color probably?" "size (relative to local currency)" "the mark it left when it bit my cousin (not shown)" and "wait! boxing gloves! those are important, I definitely saw that on buzzfeed", etc. meanwhile "How to ID Spiders" has two arrows: one pointing at "eye arrangement", the other at "the part of the world the spider is standing on".

Two regular residents got their friends to raise more than $17,000 to buy medical debt worth $1.6 million. Instead of cashing in on the debt, they forgave it, helping more than 1,700 Philadelphians.

Imagine a billionaire doing this for all the medical debt in the country instead of, say, buying Twitter.
