  • You’re getting played if you don’t use one. All those rewards are not from the people racking up credit card debt, it’s from swipe fees.

    If you don’t use a credit card you pay the same price as the ones paying with a card, except the ones with a card get rewards. The ones without pay extra since stores charge extra to cover the fee

    They even lobbied successfully to prevent merchants from passing this on to credit card customers. Which means they pass it on to all customers instead.

    The fees are currently capped at 2.5% but that’s just for the swiped. There are other fees as well that end up costing the merchant more.


  • I am pointing out that dealing with animals falls under animal control. Not police officers. The exception being an in progress attack and even then a gun probably isn’t the best choice considering the animal would be next to/on the person it’s attacking.

    The article points out that the reason is unclear. Based on what we know about how police offers act, how police departments respond, what punishments they face, and how they update their procedures/trainings, it draws a clear conclusion.

    The reasons for the high number of pet killings by law enforcement are not clear. Some factors include mistaken identity, warrantless searches, lack of training, and legal protections for police officers when using force, including against animals[1].
