@fullofsighs33 @WallStreetApes Good luck finding a lease return that’s not $10k less than new when it should be 1/2 off!
English

American has a paid off Ford Expedition so she goes into the Ford Dealership to see what it would cost to upgrade to the new Expedition Platinum Max
To just lease the vehicle for 48 months the cost is $1,700 per month
This exact same lease payment in 2019 would have only cost $550-$750 per month depending on trim options
“$1,700. I laughed in the man's face”
Americans are being robbed blind

@wahoowa000 Funny how Beau is not mentioned in either.

@DiegoChunguss @mistressdivy I know it’s X and no one cares. But this is a blatant lie. .33% is less than the interchange rate for any business type and any card in existence. If you pay .33%/transaction, your business is paying at least 1.5% of your gross every month for Interchange.
English

The real crime is them charging 3%
I own a business that needed payment processing and I was able to easily set up with a large payment processor and pay 0.33% per transaction
So that means if I charged my customers 3% to use a card, I would be making an extra 2.67% just because someone used a card
English

@TrishnTN @HotDawgFingers @Dratuna_ @mistressdivy These states prohibit a surcharge. Surcharge is when the business says they charge 3.5% on card transactions in order to offset the 3.5% fees they are charged by Visa/MC/D/Amex. Dual pricing(where card customers pay a fee, cash no fee) is legal in all 50 states.
English

@HotDawgFingers @Dratuna_ @mistressdivy You could have Googled it. Here: “Eleven states—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma and Texas—and Puerto Rico have laws that prohibit merchants from charging consumers with surcharges on credit card transactions.”
English

@ZweiterOrdnung @mistressdivy Correct- if the business raises all prices, everyone loses- esp cash customers. If the business does dual pricing, only card customers pay the fee (which is much less than getting ATM w fees!) and cash customers still get the unraised price!
English

@mistressdivy Yes, but their fees assessed by credit card companies will just be rolled into the cost of the product, and not declared.
The fee will always be passed on to the consumer.
English

@PontificatorIC @mistressdivy The “guise” of a cash discount is a benefit to both customer and business. If a business pays the card fees, they either raise the price on all (including cash) or they offset w surcharge. If they pass the fees to customer, cash discount applies (and fee is less than ATm fees!
English

I still remember a time when it violated Visa and Mastercard rules for business businesses to charge an additional fee to pay with a card.
These days, they all just hide it under the guise of offering a cash discount. But yes, if they don’t except cash, they definitely should not charge an additional convenience fee.
English

@mistressdivy Depending on how the credit card fee is charged—-it IS illegal. Can file a complaint with PCI and there are fines and possibly loss of acceptance of certain cards for the business. I work w businesses every day to make sure they are compliant (aka take cash)!

@Clip_Station_ My kids gonna get that hype over a 10yr old Civic.
English

@PortersBurgh @dpbrugler I MIGHT be ok with first 3. The rest is meh, esp Nuss.
English

In @dpbrugler latest 7 round mock draft he has the #Steelers getting the following haul. 🔥
How would you rate this haul from 1-10??

English

Alabama QB Ty Simpson officially won't have a top 30 visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers this year.
I have a really hard time believing the Steelers would draft a QB in Round 1 without having a Top 30 visit with that player, so at this point, I'd be stunned if Ty Simpson ends up being the pick for Pittsburgh in Round 1 next Thursday.
English

@dannykanell Full stop: my kid does tha to a multi hundred dollar bat and I’ll be living his ass all the way home. Home run or not, get your shit together kid.
English

@JigginJalen @benlikessport @NCAA Let’s be honest- if they did it based on scum alone, Ohio state would be winless for the last 35 years.
English

@benlikessport @NCAA Sandusky was scum and a terrible person but they shouldn’t take wins away for what he did. Teams should only lose wins if teams are cheating to win those games.
English

So Penn State gets all their wins reinstated after one of the most DISGUSTING college athletics scandals in history
But Iowa gets 4 wins taken for “recruiting violations”
@NCAA you are a JOKE

English

@Toniatuslim @espn When Iowa got more sanctions for talking to someone early than UM has ever gotten for blatant cheating, lying and abuse, you know how rigged th system is.
English

@espn 18 months’ probation and just $1k? Sherrone Moore really ran a whole scandal and got a “pls don’t do it again” starter pack
At this point, accountability is just a light suggestion with a receipt.
English

Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months' probation and fined just over $1,000 for two misdemeanors stemming from an incident at the apartment of a staff member with whom he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship. spr.ly/6013B6Nei3
English

@NicoleAuerbach Devastating for Iowa circa 2023-2024. But let’s be honest- everyone has moved on.
English

The NCAA has announced tampering violations occurred at Iowa under head coach Kirk Ferentz.
Penalties include vacated wins from the 2023 season: ncaa.org/news/2026/4/14…
English

@JesterJum Will hit 23 in October. The most impressive threshold is when you’ve been together longer than you were apart. 26yrs togetherv 20yrs apart for us!
English

@FreedomAcres25 @emma6USA Thanks for the info. I looked at the Energy. gov and there is nothing in there that we sell to countries after we take care of U.S.

This isn’t the Straits of Hormuz… This is the Gulf of America. 🇺🇸
Hundreds of supertankers from Every corner of the planet are racing to Texas & Louisiana to fill up on the sweetest, cheapest, most American oil on Earth.
The globalist chokehold is Broken. America is the new gas station for the planet. 🔥🔥🔥

English

@AmericaWarNews @emma6USA I agree. But we export as well. You’re not being granular enough with the type of oil and why it’s used for.
English

@FreedomAcres25 @emma6USA No we actually don't. We import 7 million a day.
English

@Hoobito97 All 3 are legit- if for no other reason than the Ravens selecting who the Steelers should take.
