Not only that. Companies are now charging people extra for using cards, passing on their processing fees to consumers.

This is “civilization”

We’ve reached the point where the sycophants raised on the empire’s koolaid are now the ones formally in charge of the empire.

Just had lunch with an ex-pat friend visiting from Germany. They said Germans as a whole are so much more unabashed about their racism compared to Americans. America is racist, but race is such a tiptoe topic because of our history and institutional problems.

They said living in Germany is wild. They encounter so much casual racism it’s shocking (compared to the Southern US too). And the people have this arrogant notion that because they “learned” from the Holocaust, they can’t possibly be racist. They’re above any criticism.
