You are right as usual White 17 it’s business you have to make money

You can make money but don't go overboard.

Since I've been alive banks got bailed out under Reagan. Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump and Biden.

The big bank bailout that occured under Obama was signed into law by Bush 2.

Does the government make their money back on these bailouts? They don't on other expenditures. If the government finances a buyout and recoups the money with a profit, although this is interfering with the free market, they do way worse things that are just expenditures. They shouldn't do these things, but financially they are not that harmful to the taxpayer and at times profitable for the taxpayers.

Our money not theirs ever corrected it for you lol

Been going on forever.
Funny thing. Gun wholesalers were adding a 3% cc surcharge even in the '80s

Happens a lot

When I tried to pay our Charleston Utilities with a Debit card they charged me 4% so I went down and paid cash to the electric Company Water company and Garbage!!!

Part of the price of convenience. We all pay it even if it isn't posted. Like checks got to buy them and it costs you every time you use them.

Getting very common. Can't say as I blame the shop owner. After all, it's cutting into his profits. It used to be illegal in PA by they can do it now.
