It does work out in my favor if I pay cash. Which I’m in favor of, though these days you have to carry a lot of it. This way cash customers don’t help pay the fees of credit customers.

glad to see that visa fees are being disclosed now. for a long time visa wouldn’t allow vendors to show the fees, and cash transactions had to cost the same as visa transactions.

Sad thing is that Ukraine wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much support if it looked like they had no chance of winning, or at least resisting.

I think the diplomatic logic is what’s the point in supporting a loser - your support doesn’t change anything and when they lose you’re on the winners shit list. If you support a winner then you may have a beneficial relationship in the future.
