Yeah, I've got friends who are open to the idea (even though they still think the driver situation is the same as 20 years ago - I won't promise there aren't problems, but I think overall it's much better than it used to

The better term is really "B2B" (Business to Business). I mean, yes, in the end it's going to an "end user" (ideally a specific entity) with a bank account... But the "services" are from these middlemen l

Former company of mine got a board member who pushed his "solution" on us, and it fucked up so much of our ordering processes, things we didn't even SELL were being shown. It took a year and a half to fix this, meanwhile it
