    And I heard a voice from among the four corporations say, "A pizza will sell for six weeks of wages, and do not destroy the box it came in, for that shall be your new home."

    Under communism, people can't even afford something as basic as a pizza

      I bet it's like a credit card but with insane fees, extra charges, etc that are totally unregulated.

        I looked into this the last time I saw Zilch mentioned, as the Afterpay one used by Amazon does work like that. Apparently Zilch only takes a cut from the merchant and doesn't have fuck-fuck fees. If you miss a payment they'll lock you out of the service but that seems to be it. This scares the shit out of me in the sense of building a general consumer debt over what should be the most basic thing a person can afford, but this specific service isn't doing the more parasitic and vicious version of the model.

    Is this a fucking app that works on the same lines as "debt consolidation" firms just for small food transactions?

    Fucking incredible innovation coming out of Silicon Valley
