we have zero say in what payment methods are available to us

companies and banks decide and we're just their little bitches

    I mean, we could all decide to not use credit cards and Apple Pay... But that's too inconvenient. Oh, well, I guess we'll continue being little bitches.

    (Just got back from a trip to a cash-heavy country. It's possible.)

    me using cash whenever possible (i really do) and even trying to influence my friends and family to do so isn't gonna do shit in the face of several million rational people, let alone several million Americans lol

    if i want reasonable payment systems i need to emigrate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    i really like the city i live in though. actually it's a lot more cash-friendly than most of the US fortunately
