Don’t worry, that’s just the rate if you have perfect credit (*starting at). The people that actually need such a service would likely be paying $3.50 per payment.

Yup. It’s just another predatory service.

Honestly they’re probably taking a loss to punish people who miss payments on their eggs. One person on the debt treadmill is worth a lot more than a few cents… Loans are so shady as an industry, the smaller they are the more they’re just looking to further exploit the poorest people

Either that or they think the dollar is about to deflate lol

And now you know why the Abrahamic religions forbid usury. It’s honestly a wonder the world managed to dig itself back into this particular hole again.

You forget that protestantism was basically invented from the ground up to be “Christianity rewritten to be extremely capitalist”

I think the most likely thing is that they did 11.89/4 and then rounded to the nearest cent.

LPT: it’s almost springtime and you can find free eggs in the tree then.

Unless you are in the U.S. and that is likely against the migratory bird act of 1918.

Oh, I’m just providing information so that people can be fully informed. I personally would never try to stop someone from utilizing what the Earth provides in order to survive (to a non-climate changing extent). Only governments do that. Otherwise, I would have had to wait 50 years to try marijuana and that wasn’t going to happen lol

Its also the time of year to start thinking about buying chicks. Its a commitment and I recommend doing your research but if you can properly care for egg laying hens then I highly recommend you consider building the required infrastructure and having hens. There is an initial investment, but now it costs me about $3 to produce a dozen pasture raised eggs.

Does the White House still do the egg roll? It sounds Chinese? But the Russians have those nested egg doll things. Which will Trump embrace?

One of the reasons I hate to get on social media is pictures of people flaunting their wealth.

These Vital Farms eggs come with an insert with a QR code that allegedly shows you pictures of the specific farm your eggs came from. I’ve never bothered to look it up though.

It does have it, and I’ve seen different farms for each one that claims to be a different farm. However, it’s not a live feed, it’s a prerecorded video of the chickens on the farm. It does seem ethical, but I would prefer live feed since anyone can take a video per farm and then not let the chickens out ever again.
