ChairMaster posted:I don't imagine such a card would ever be offered by either company, that's not really their business model. I treat my credit cards like that anyways, there's no reason to carry a fuckin balance on your card and pay interest for no reason, but I think they make their money off of dumb people who do. It doesn't really matter what you imagine because charge cards exist (Amex Green/Gold/PRG/Platinum are all examples of them) and make up most of Amex's high-end line. They serve a complementary purpose to the rest of a company's credit card line and generally are targeted at high income/credit score individuals.

namaste faggots posted:If you earn that much why the gently caress do you need the credit? Wait no I know the answer to that it's because Canadians are literally loving children who can never pass the marshmallow test I know a couple that pull in that much who are up to their eye balls in consumer debt. At one point a few years ago they met with a financial advisor, put together a plan for paying down their debts, and were clear of it quickly, down to a single paid off credit card each. Then they both finished paying their student loans. For some reason that caused them to get right back into buying as much poo poo as they could fit in their house/ newly made barn to put poo poo in, and they accepted every credit card that showed up in the mail, and now they're worse off than they were before.

The only regulation the real estate market needs is for the government to explicitly stop backing any loan for a house value thats more than 3x median income Actually not backing any at all would be better but also politically unpalatable

ChairMaster posted:I specifically said "either company" as in Visa or Mastercard. Does one of them offer a charge card? In Europe it seems so. wiki posted:In Europe, the MasterCard-affiliated Maestro brand (which is a debit card rather than a charge card) replaced the European Eurocheque brand for payment cards in 2002. Many Eurocheque cards, particularly in such countries as Austria and Germany, were charge cards branded with the Eurocheque logo. In addition, the European Eurocard, issued as the competitor for American Express was, and in some countries (such as the Nordic countries) still is, a charge card.[citation needed] Therefore, the majority of MasterCards in these countries still are charge cards. Visa charge cards are also available in Europe.

A cash advance is always a horrible idea unless you have no other solution. I've only done one on purpose once because I needed actual cash and my loving poo poo debit card wasn't working because BMO is a gaggle of fuckstains.

Container homes will just get bid up like everything else, you need to really flood a market you need to get one or more of those container ships that aren't doing anything, load em up with empty containers and dock them in the harbour. Call them waterfront microsuites or something.

Shipping container homes are one of those weird zombie ideas that never die despite being discredited again and again. I mean this idea has been floating around as a typical architecture student thesis for decades but you never hear about a thriving shipping container home community. I wonder why? Because shipping containers make lousy loving homes.

I'm thinking there is some kind of idea amongst people who don't work in logistics that there are millions of used shipping containers just floating around like empty water bottles or something and wouldn't it be cool to use them. I would think that A) people actually use shipping containers to ship things in, a business that is still ongoing and that 2) if the container is no longer good for shipping things in then it's probably also not something you want to live in either?

The thought is probably that there are so many of them being produced that they are standardized and economical to purchase. I have no idea how true that is.
