    “You’re not sad. Now consume, peasants. Consume and never stop. You don’t WANT to be sad, do you?”

    No shit, I saw fucking Afterpay available for petrol at the pump the other week. I’m Australian, so I’m unsure if this ‘buy now, pay later’ shit is available for gas over in the States, but it was certainly a shock to see here.

      The Afterpay, Affirm, Zip, Klarna signs are everywhere now. Even for pizza here in California.

      Gas is all prepay here from what I have seen. You can’t pump unless you tap/slide/insert your card or walk in and give the cashier cash.

      Our fuel is pretty much the same price, comparing major city to major city, so maybe we will get fuel financing in 2-3 election cycles.
