Find someone rich who would believe you have this pact with a génie, and promise them a 100% ROI.

Thinking of it, that's not the worst idea for a new ~~sect~~ religion...

Cash has its benefits, I never said otherwise. But said benefits are for the individuals. Shops use it as an excuse to avoid paying taxes, and pricing differently is not noble at all.

You mention tipping, well good thing this is Europe then, where many places already did away with this stupid custom. Covid relief packages for restaurants in France were based on declared income. I'll let you guess why some owners complained they did not get enough help during the crisis.

I don't like that we have not found (or even looked for) a compromise in terms of privacy and safety between cash and cards, but I won't feel bad for hypocrites profiting from my tax money without giving their own share. 99% of people in Europe have never even had 3k worth of cash in their hands anyway

My point is that my salary is below the per diem of where I live yet I'm anything but poor. I would estimate the value to be half what's announced on that page.

If they have a good fingerprint on you they don't need the control group. That's why you get 5+ captchas when using a VPN/tor.

It's not capitalism because it's not the market magically fixing itself but China injecting a ton of money to prop up a sector the big companies have purposefully ignored, to avoid spending money on R&D. Plus all the incentives given here and there to push people towards EV.

And the concept of offer and demand is not exclusive to capitalism, no.

Prices should be the same regardless of the payment method, but let's not pretend the "discount" you get when paying cash is anything but tax evasion.

I don't know what those numbers are supposed to be used for, but they are certainly not to be used for estimating cost of living.

Ugh? This whole thing is the exact opposite of capitalism working.

Europe is not a single country

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback, I did rush the documentation bit...

I wanted the configuration to serve as documentation to explain some of the points above, but that's not clear given the readme.

It sounds more fun than any actual company, I must say

Parent comment applies even more so to such endpoints imo
