Wow.
"The FCAC's 2020-21 COVID-19 Well-being Survey showed that approximately 2 per cent of used an online non-bank lender or company in the previous 12 months."

Payday loans are crazy , often close to 60% p.a. (sixty!) if you include the fees. Charging above 60% is in . However, loans of up to $1500 are exempt, so the typical payday loan could charge even more.

One more: Distraction Free writing is a big thing since a while. And here, you can buy something that can barely approximate a free and better Emacs setup for almost $900.

It's cute, but I prefer a laptop with Emacs and a lot more editing and writing options, tyvm. 🙃

@MartinM In my opinion, real musicians can make great even with the cheapest of . Needing the most expensive is just an excuse why your current results suck. Oh no, it's not my ability, it's just just I don't have the most . Case in point: many use $15 tin whistles; I sometimes use $3 plastic whistles in my recordings, and nobody would know. Or a $20 melodica for live performances. If it works, it works. It's the same with many other occupations. Photography, cooking, whatever.

This evening, I've been having exploring !
I've seen @eibriel posting about It a lot, so I decided to take a look too! :blobaviator:

I like It there! I find it to be a mix between and ! :ablobthinking:
Unfortunately, I've not been able to interact a lot with people, just a quick hey with a person that warned me that my mic was not working, so I fixed it but they went away in no time :ablobnervous:

I've used the Brave to explore the land and had little to no problems on . :linux:

I suggest to everyone to have a look! It's inspiring! A bit empty.... but !

I have also been thinking to make some to wear/sell there, but unsure how and if I really could... Also, lands are veeeeery ! But can be loaned for "cheap" :3

Have you ever explored it? Do you like it? :aphotoblob:

I agree; the programs comprising our social safety net are , to administer, and expensive to provide.

If there was a way to replace them all with a simpler, cheaper to program, I would be all for it - if it didn't provide a disincentive for the people to work, earn a living, and develop some well-earned self-respect.

I have never seen a proposal that anticipated the moral hazard problem, much less a to it.
