I was once a proponent of cashless societies. Not anymore. Too many vulnerabilities, too many ways for governments to take control of your finances.

Worth noting that the French law only deals with food waste from supermarkets as far as I know. Not households or agriculture. It's a great start, though.

Unemployment. Like many others, I keep an emergency fund with high yield that can keep food on the table for the fam while looking for a new job. Replenish as soon as I get a new job.

I'm sure it makes money and he may not F it up, but that's not the point. The point is that Elon has turned into the douche of the century along with his butt-buddy Trump.

As with X, I'll support it as soon as he's out.

Stop supporting Elon.

There are a lot of very poor people in the US compared to other developed countries. There are also a lot more extremely rich people. The inequality is palpable, and it shows in the stats.

Reading your description of the place you live in just reminds me how incredible different people live their lives. Such different lifestyles. I can't even comprehend living in such a remote place. It's no wonder that people are divided in almost every way.

That's the good thing about a monopoly. You don't have to worry about customers choosing another service.

The retail side is also just a huge ad for Amazon as a company. It's what everyday consumers know even if it doesn't provide a huge amount of profit. It creates name recognition.
