Its not a must to have a shitty x5 sized truck with an even shittier loan

But my friend, my friend...

Everything costs more than five bucks.

From a databroker (legitimate or not), your entire identity goes for less than 5 bucks in a bundle with others.

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.

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

One word: Cash.

I got shitty AI gallows vibes from the guillotine but hard to be sure here...

The solution to debt is more debt.

[–] bigchungus@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

This looks like a pluralistic.net collage

I always love the card terminals that play the bit of waiting music as it checks whether the transaction is approved.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

5 bucks is worth about 40 minutes of my time at work!

My car just broke and I'm waiting on the tow truck, this post speaks to me.

Leveraging usury on your population always goes super great right guys?
