I could true it off soon . I could add a rule to not offline raid . <| sep |> But if history was any guide , only white Greeks would be living in democracies in the first place , so your point is moot . Does the authoritarian left always instinctively revert to intersectionality when confronted with their history ? Is that a thing now ? Forget those hundreds of millions of people we slaughtered . because you ' re fucking a white male ! <| sep |> Consider this two vendors selling two identical items . They both offer free shipping . One of them charges $ 10 flat and eats the fees , the other charges $ 10 . 50 to recoup credit card fees . According to you they have cleverly hid the fee in the cost of the item , right ? Now what happens in real life is that the merchant selling for $ 10 makes all the sales and the merchant charging more sells none . The merchant who tries to gouge their customers makes no profits and the one who eats the fee more than makes it up by actually making sales . You see , no offence , but people who make the claim you are have no experience with business or economics . Paying the fees are simply a cost of doing business , a cost that comes with the great reward of having your products be purchaseable by millions of people using credit cards . The smarter merchant eats the fee because you take the 3 % off your profit versus not being able to take 3 % off anything because you make no sales . Credit card fees are literally just a cost of doing business and in fact a business expense that reduces their taxes owing . Look at OB as an example they pay no fees but also have no sales because the millions upon millions of people who own credit cards and are ready to spend cannot buy their products . which is obviously so much better than paying 3 % for thousands of sales .
