    Where’d this stat come from. Looking around and another site says 25% made payments for groceries. Another site says 60% split payments when buying - not just for groceries. So I sincerely doubt the stat of 60% making payments just for groceries.

      This comment on the post indicates that it’s a CitizenWatch article, but that article’s own listed sources don’t support the 60% number either (as I call out in my response to that comment).

      I swear there’s barely anywhere online anymore where people practice basic skepticism. If it aligns with their existing biases they just slurp it up, no matter how absurd.

      No, that’s disgusting.

      Trickle-down is a perfectly wholesome synonym for horse-and-sparrow economics, so named because sparrows pick undigested oats out of horseshit. Why’d you have to go and make it gross?
