Freezing today.
Saw an article over on [email protected], which suggested the possibility of cash going extinct. I hope that we at least have some low cost/free method of dealing with it that doesn't have processing fees and surcharges if that's the case.
Related to the minor gripe of the day: went to a cafe in the city that didn't take cash, but also had a 5-10% card surcharge. Isn't that just a markup pretending to not be a markup at that point?}
For an interesting fact of the day, discovered a song on Spotify that seems to rehash Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl", but with a different lyrics, in a different language, claiming to be an original song, which is interesting.
