they are tools of Molloch

Credit card payment charges should be itemized on the bill of any purchase and also rewards should be considered taxable income over 1000$/year
I feel like we came to the same conclusions for very different reasons....
molloch is the personnified logic of someone doing something selfish for their personnal gain, but when everyone does it, everybody loses.
In this case the belief that one can churn rewards and come out on top with using a credit card
but the result is that ALL prices are jacked by 3%, nullifying any apparent rewards, at best you can claw back a little bit of this corporate tax.
But here's the kicker, if you don't have a credit card, the price is also jacked, because credit card company do not allow passing the fee to end customer. So non-credit card user, still pay the 3% tax, it just gets pocketed by the vendor.
I cannot overstate how evil credit card company are.
When I am Earth dictator, all credit card employees will spend time getting acquainted with a brick wall -

I do believe MasterCard and Visa owners and execs are card holding Nazis.
Yes but is it the gold membership card or platinum with cash back

You can't control what we jack off to, Mastercard.
I don’t think they care what you jack off to, bud. That’s a weird way to frame it.

It's not EU wide.
It will be.
This is the EU timeline

uh huh. but why? why express it in biblical fluffery, when it's faster (and clearer) to just say the greedy selfish bastards?

Megacorp be megacorping.
We should always fight giants like this.
And think to not feed them indirectly.(Not to mention that such basic infrastructure should never be for-profit.)
Best answer.
We are currently enjoying living through the period that most dystopian cyberpunk fiction just kinda glosses over, the antedystopian period where the transition to full blown megacorporatacracy and neu fascism.

The time when the transition underneath already happened but it's not formalised bcs the people could still snap it all back.
