I raise you Lake Chaubunagungamaug, MA, which BTW is short for Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.

I’m surprised that “being rich” and “being good looking” aren’t on the list.

Then again, I suppose technically those aren’t hobbies.

Of course not, because it’s never been done. That’s why we need to keep trying again and again instead of accepting that perhaps it’s impossible because it’s been tried countless of times and cost countless lives and still never succeeded. /s

How is that different from communism?

Something something bioidentical hormones

What about this makes you think they aren’t? Let’s be real, Trump hasn’t even had a chance to renege on this promise yet, since he won’t be president for another two months.

I don’t trust them either, that’s why I’ve never given them a single cent. My entire account is literally just free games (and I have certainly gotten a few good ones over the years, although the vast majority is crap). If I’m actually going to buy something I’ll go to GOG or Steam.

No, they don’t charge higher transaction fees in order to pay those reward rates, they just give up on making any profit from that and instead try to profit from charging interest. Which of course is disproportionately paid from people who cannot actually afford it.

Usury is forbidden (haram) in Islam, so many Muslim majority countries do in fact do this.

Malaysia and Indonesia come to mind.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Agreed.

You forgot the butter.

I know right?

Didn’t Democrats literally just take him to court over fleecing those bankers by overvaluing his own properties in order to qualify for a lower interest rate? What exactly makes you think he’s in bed with them?

I mean that’s certainly a possibility but if it helps some people get out of debt, I won’t be mad about it.

Technically, the cashback they pay you likely comes directly out of the transaction fees they collect, which means that after expenses (for running the infrastructure etc.), they make little to no profit on swipes. Which means they have to make profit somewhere else, which, you guessed it, is fleecing those who don’t pay their balance off every month for as much as they can get away with.

Classic mistake

You’re both right. The rewards are indeed mostly covered by the processing fees, but that means after covering infrastructure expenses etc., the banks are operating at a net loss (or breakeven at best), meaning they still have to fleece someone on their interest payments.

I guess we’ll see, but I think we can all appreciate his willingness to go straight to brass tacks and hold Trump’s feet to the flame while the entire Democrat Party leadership is still busy clutching their pearls.
