First, nobody ever said free enterprise couldn't be trashy.  Second, I might actually attend more church if I had these options

There is free enterprise and there is fleecing people.

In my country  Payday loans are strictly forbidden.

IN the USA and now in the UK they are all over the place and if you read the horror stories in the UK about them, you will understand why they are banned here.

The down vote people are too cowardly to make a comment because they have NO leg to stand on when it comes to the rationalization of pay day loans.

You have to be a 3rd world country if people need to do that.

Payday loans are a mere nuisance in the USA.  The real horror and  major problem is the fucking US Military which perpetuates itself through gender-challenged bitch boys and girls who enlist or serve as mercenaries for the war criminals running the country.  That's savage and uncivilized.

It's fortunate for you that you are not part of that.

Celebration of Faith??

If their faith really worked there would be no need of BailBonds, Liquor, and GunRange.

You aren't in the Netherlands.

 

You are in a suburb of Jerusalem, in a nondescript looking office building, crammed in next to other young Israelis, here to poison the well.

You are also an uncle-fucking twat.

I ought to post a photo of the sign at a highway rest stop promising a "foot long around pizza" for $5.00 ($6.00 with pepperoni). For the math-impaired, that's less than four inches across!

Sorry, but it's missing a couple things. A mobile phone store and a "massage" parlor.  Oh, and assume the Celebration of Faith is a front for a meth dealer.  Then it's perfect.

The rest of the story:

One empty space was originally a school of etiquette, then a marriage counselor's office, then a state sponsored anger management clinic, and finally a martial arts facility. Owner died when he took on a robber with a knife. Robber's buddy had a gun.

Second empty space started as a bookstore selling eclectic titles, specializing in classical and libertarian authors. When traffic declined, they switched to do it yourself and self-sufficiency texts. When that slowed, they tried selling adult mags, but then the Internet shut that down. Lastly it was a community organizer's office, where folks could learn how to scam the system. And you know what became of that guy.

the internet shlut that down? 

yah, the organizer got a rent controlled room in a big white house. his new owners treat him better than his grand-pappy's owners.  They hardley ever beat him, but he still has to go out to the green fields and pick up little white balls, kinda like his gpappy.  He would say he's better off than his gpappy cuz his new owners never want to sleep with his wife and he gets to stay in the big house.

The bar is O.K. Don't go in alone. Don't eat the free food. Don't use the restroom.

I recognize that sign by the establishments and phone numbers.  Located at Magnolia and Prospect in El Cajon, CA.  Google map it and see for yourself!  I'm pretty sure there are payday lenders and tatoo parlors pretty close by....
