Strange machines. No one bats an eye, just go ahead and pay two dollars to get cash because the store doesn’t want to pay the credit card company 8%. Why doesn’t the government just issue us a government debit card instead of printing money? Or better yet, get the government out of printing money and let private business control all our money, in whatever form they choose.
Few things are more irritating than a business that puts in an ATM and doesn’t take credit cards. It’s one of the sleaziest maneuvers out there and I won’t patronize such places.

Normally, I’m a Democrat, but today I am a Republican. This means that I cannot be swayed by others’ espousing of political and financial rhetoric. Cornell University will not allow me to process the aforementioned statements. Who knows what tomorrow will be like…
