I wrote a passionate blog post made the front page of a major subreddit. The story was then syndicated across a few other large blogs in my niche. This resulted in 3,000 sign-ups in a few days-- much more than I had expected! I've also

Lobbyists are pretty powerful and Americans like the rewards, so I don't think it will change any time soon. In any case I would assume that merchant fees follow the same pattern as tax incidence. Just like taxes on goods, they are pas

I enjoy swimming several times a week to rejuvenate my senses, obtain mental clarity and stay in shape. The swimming pool is the one of the few places where there are no everyday problems, no stress and most importantly, no phones. Everyone
