I’m in AZ and was in my 20s then. I disagreed with him on a lot of things but always thought he was a halfway decent person. He seems like a saint compared to the fucking garbage people we’re dealing with now. One of his last acts was to deny the Republicans taking away Obamacare. He wasn’t perfect but whatever. The hyperbolic shit people say is just not reality. Too many people are just black and white about literally everything. People are messy and imperfect.

Self awareness is not his strong suit. That was stop counting in Michigan but keep counting in AZ. Fucking putz.

At this point Bruno is better imo anyway. As of 2.0 they’ve basically got every single feature postman had that I cared about (including comments of parameters) and then some. Postman is garbage and everyone should definitely stop using it. Basically malware now. I don’t know why anyone willingly chooses to use this shit at this point. You can import all your postman shit to Bruno pretty easily.

Thing is, no one is doing that for online services. They’re just charging fees to make extra money. The number of people paying cash is so small in general and most of us aren’t doing that so all that really happens is the raise prices in the usual sneaky fuck you way they do where you don’t know up front what things will cost. It’s ridiculous honestly.

No they weren’t allowed to charge a fee before. They had to build it into the cost of doing business like every other thing that goes into the price. Visa isn’t “allowing” them to SHOW the fee, they’re being forced to allow the fee (surcharge) to be added on because of bills the feds passed.

I guarantee this isn’t working out in your favor. That’s why these businesses fought so hard to have the fee. Visa and MasterCard wanted merchants to not do this because it makes credit cards less attractive if places charge fees. The thing I’m particularly skeptical about is how much they charge. The fees are like 2 to 3 percent. Checks and debit cards are flat like a few cent fees. Allstate charging 5 dollars for debit or 2 dollars for bank transfers is fucking insane.
