I always love the card terminals that play the bit of waiting music as it checks whether the transaction is approved.
But my friend, my friend…
Everything costs more than five bucks.
Arizona iced tea!
You expect me to buy less than $5 worth of Arizona iced tea?
If you add “time” to the math things get very cheap over time. Like a loaf of bread is more than five bucks but over time it provides sandwiches and breakfast worth 5 bucks so it is measurably saving me money. A movie costs ~about $5 an hour too.
That’s not really a function of time, though. It’s just a multi-use ingredient.
Time really only comes into play when discussing making something yourself vs buying pre-made. You’re saving money by not paying for the time it took someone else to make it.
From a databroker (legitimate or not), your entire identity goes for less than 5 bucks in a bundle with others.
Well, credit card companies do impose a kind of levy on everything you buy. Thankfully alternative payment methods are starting to emerge that won’t fill the pockets of bankers and traders
Leveraging usury on your population always goes super great right guys?
David Dees! Love the guy
This looks like a pluralistic.net collage
