One of the reasons I hate to get on social media is pictures of people flaunting their wealth.

LPT: it's almost springtime and you can find free eggs in the tree then.

Its also the time of year to start thinking about buying chicks. Its a commitment and I recommend doing your research but if you can properly care for egg laying hens then I highly recommend you consider building the required infrastructure and having a hens. There is an initial investment, but now it costs me about $3 to produce a dozen pasture raised eggs.

Unless you are in the U.S. and that is likely against the migratory bird act of 1918.

Who's going to stop me. The government agency that was just decimated. I stopped paying taxes too.

Oh, I’m just providing information so that people can be fully informed. I personally would never try to stop someone from utilizing what the Earth provides in order to survive (to a non-climate changing extent). Only governments do that. Otherwise, I would have had to wait 50 years to try marijuana and that wasn’t going to happen lol

Marijuana is good, nothing else to add.

Honestly they're probably taking a loss to punish people who miss payments on their eggs. One person on the debt treadmill is worth a lot more than a few cents... Loans are so shady as an industry, the smaller they are the more they're just looking to further exploit the poorest people

Either that or they think the dollar is about to deflate lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I think the most likely thing is that they did 11.89/4 and then rounded to the nearest cent.

And now you know why the Abrahamic religions forbid usury. It's honestly a wonder the world managed to dig itself back into this particular hole again.

Don’t worry, that’s just the rate if you have perfect credit (*starting at). The people that actually need such a service would likely be paying $3.50 per payment.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks ago

Yup. It's just another predatory service.
