Mind blown today. BBQ Food Truck has a sign "No Cash - Accepting Apple | Google Pay | Credit & Debit Cards" Below that is attached a hand written note "All credit card payments 3% surcharge will be added to all credit card transactions". Also, the guy complimented my Bitcoin T-shirt. But said they don't accept Bitcoin. "Hopefully soon, brother". *BBQ tasted great but my head is still spinning when I think about it.

#asknostr Is this the Weimar flu? Does it feel around you like people still know how much things should cost? Or have we lost the referential prices already? Around here, draft beer was always $5, ever since I remember. Now, when they ask for $8, I don't even know if they are ripping me off, or giving me a deal. Today, I saw a simple wooden "anti anxiety dog crate" on local marketplace website for $600. It felt ridicilous. But then I saw these are really going for ~$500 in bunch of other places as well. Well, it still feels like a ripoff, but I can see that many people in Austin would happily pay that. Then I check the finance charts. Gold had its own 2k gang forever. By now, it's a lot closer to the 3k district.

"Volunteers should wait for the central coordination of the help" Who would promote anarchism, if we wouldn't have the governments. 🤷‍♂️ Every young capable man around is supposed to sit and wait until the dudes from Prague find the time to come for the photo op standing in the middle of the demolished village and proclaiming the help to be commenced.

Taxation of the tips was one of the strongest remaining arguments for cash. Interesting that the single policy that both parties agree on is the No Tax on Tips. They gonna get the service workers to demand and prefer the credit cards tips out of convenience. Smart play.

It's kinda fucked up that the first responders and other public institution choose to communicate emergency updates via closed source network. Public institutions shouldn't be communicating important public info solely through privatized protocols.

Brisket is the actual superfood
