A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit

Kinda wanna embrace our AI overlords ngl.
I'm gonna have a little chuckle when Skynet comes online and decides eating billionaires is the most efficient way to fix all the problems.

And debit and cash use still pay this price without the benefit.
Literally taking their money and giving it to credit card user as reward.
There is no justification for credit cards. Banks should do credit margins and transactions should be extremely cheap under a common system.Eh, for a lot of businesses, the few percent they pay in card fees is worth it to avoid handling large quantities of cash. Cash is a pain in the ass to actually work with on a large scale. Collecting it, counting it, securing it, keeping employees and random criminals from stealing it, etc. Plus lots of cash allows employees to steal from both the employer or the customer by giving bad change deliberately.
Not that businesses shouldn't accept cash, but there is a reason a lot of them don't want to mess with it. It's an enormous hassle.

Work two jobs? Fuck you. Want rest? Fuck you. Want healthy food? Fuck you. Taking care of someone? Fuck you. Need sleep? Fuck you.
My days pretty much consist entirely of work, chores, gym, spending time with my kid, and sleeping. If not for the flexibility I get from work, I don't think I'd ever be able to do groceries.

You do realize that the people you should be angry at make hundreds to thousands of times more than a person who can afford delivery apps makes, right? You have been fooled into hating your own class.
I'm not reading any anger in their message. Seems like a pretty innocent joke.

Who am I angry at?

... And feed the credit card issuers?
I'm not feeding them, the store is. My local worker owned grocery store doesn't accept credit cards. Not my favorite, but I don't pay cash back prices when I shop there.

I'm not saying back to cash, I'm saying near zero cost transaction with contactless smartcards.

Hello! What other measures you take? Use Gemini (the protocol?) Use I2P? Freenet?
Inquiring minds want to know!
