yes you are. you just dint see it because your that little ant that stands on a pixel of a 72" curved screen tv, so a tv to you is just a bright square with red, green and blue boxes in it.
Again as I pointed out quite the contrary..I pay less for products and services when using credit card vs cash. The cost of that product and how it is reached is irrelevant in the REAL WORLD cost to me which will not alter whether I pay cash or use a credit card.
no. you pay nothing when you purchase with a credit card. both money and debt have equal purchasing power. the difference is that one is real and the other imaginary.
The 99.999999% of people who use credit cards and run a balance are the ones who line the pockets of the jedis.
The 0.000001% of people who never pay a cent in interest to the jedis don't.
I never pay a cent to jedis, they pay me…in cashback.
you seems to have a very limited notion of jéws, what and where they are. jéws are the economy. if your actions benefit the economy, then you benefited the jéws.
Now listen carefully…
ANY money I pay for a product or service is to the seller…NOT the jedi bankers…once that money has left my ownership…it is no longer MY money.
no. credit is the money that are not in your posession because you have yet to have it.
credit is fictional debit. and credits are certainly not money.
…I don't pay the jedis a cent..they pay me…
they wouldnt be called the jéws if they do.
Now as far as the cost of products and services being affected overall by said transactions then that is something I or you or anyone on an individual basis doesn't have ANY control over. The price of a product or service is reached by MANY factors, cost of materials, cost of labor, advertising costs, distribution costs, transportation costs, supply and demand, manufacturers margin distributors margin, wholesalers margin, dealers margin…etc etc.
demand, which is a component of free market that YOU are responsible for, is also one of these factors. you may choose to be not part of the demand.
Basically if you buy a product or service there is a jedi somewhere involved…the accuser is as guilty therefor as the accused. The difference is again…I get money paid to me DIRECTLY from the jedis when I used a credit card with cash back options…paying cash YOU DON'T…but by simply making the purchase you have lined their pockets…me less so because I used a credit card (ETA: and pay off the balance before interest is due).
Durrrrrrrmmmmmbbbb
the fact that they keep offering you, and many others like you this option and continue to thrive means they are reaping more benefit from you than you are from them. banks arent stupid and you wont be able to rip them off.
the only thing you get are illusions of ripping them off.
