$5000? …A month? A sudden rate increase 10 times the agreed amount? This smells like rage bait. We are not in post-World War I, Germany, yet.
The fact that it's bad doesn't make it impossible.
No, but it sets off "potential bs" alarms. It doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree with it, headlines tend to misrepresent for clicks, this is just the truth.

Exactly like the kind of person who just believes every headline they read as long as it aligns to their values.
