If you’re aware of what a back-of-card network is then you should understand how transformative a state-backed zero-fee interchange would be.

And credit unions offer accounts with lower fees and higher interest rates than commercial banks, whose only advantages are having more branch offices, ATMs, and a bigger marketing budget.
Postal banking solves this deficit by making every post office a branch of the national credit union.
What service? Debit cards for postal banking accounts?
It absolutely would be because for-profit banks would have to compete with non-profit government services…
Petite bourgeoise, the managerial class who wield structural control over the labor power of others but lack sufficient capital to simply hire someone else to maintain that structure for them. Same as gang members, small business owners, corporate middle-managers, etc.
Cultivate a fascination for neologism and you can be the old person that correctly and unironically uses modern slang to the horror of young people everywhere~
Become the reason that kids have to find new words for things all over again and you’ll never run out of new material~
No need for crypto, there are plans on deck for a postal banking system that already include debit card service (and a government union for the workers who have to maintain the infrastructure). That’s pretty much the end of the credit card mafia if it comes to pass.
*with or without
FTFY
There can be more than two categories.
Doesn’t matter, the Democrats are killing the Republican party by absorbing its “moderates” and becoming the new right-wing.
They don’t need lefties anymore.
Cops aren’t workers, they’re the enforcers of Capital.
The only surprising thing here is that this person thought they could exercise copfriend privileges against an actual cop without getting some kind of blowback. XD
Do it.
Since you are all knowing, explain to me exactly how deep earth mining is less costly and better for the environment than deep earth drilling.
Easy, just compare the amount of pollution required to make a battery and a solar panel with the amount of pollution required to extract and burn fossil fuels for the equivalent power output over the duration of the renewable’s working lifetime.
Oh, and don’t forget. Fossil fuels are useless without an engine to burn them, so you need to account for those infrastructure costs as well.
Do you want the math or would you prefer less reading and more pictures?
Voting is the least important part of the political process. America is not a democracy, voting merely serves to legitimize the state with an illusion of choice.
They’re all dressed as politicians.
Patreon deserves to die, their cut of the subscription income is extortionate for what amounts to a very limited web hosting platform.
Open-source alternatives like Mirlo or Cloud Patron will take its place, it’s only a matter of time.
Deleting Facebook wasn’t even edgy 15 years ago when I did it, lol~
You’re joking, but you’re right.
Once the content has been created, the near-zero marginal cost of online distribution makes the concept of charging for copies wholly untenable.
The furry community figured this out years ago, our creators work on commission or paid subscription through Patreon or one of its ilk. They (mostly) don’t care where you freely share their work because they already got paid.
XP was acceptable and 7 was decent, but just seeing the previews of 8 was the last straw for me.
Not when you’re a government.
Mandate that payment processors have to support the state debit network and you’ll be on half the terminals in the country in under a year.
