Exxon/Mobil - Inflation + Greed

Just got the new credit terms for my Exxon/Mobil credit card in the mail today.
The new interest rate on purchases is 34.24%.
Seems they are trying to lower gasoline prices, but now raising the interest rates, so bottom line is that you will lose either way.
Fortunately, I am one of those who pay my bill in full every month, but I feel sorry for those who don't.
Oh, and if this has anything to do with Biden and his failure of an administration, (his Bidenomics,) I am totally against it and/or it.

Just buy a bag of nuts once every quarter and your credit will be fine, Its use over card-capacity that boosts your score and the less use the better.

Then find a way to carpool or use a bike. Or work at home. Just saying...I don't know your situation of course...

I wanted an ultra low interest card and got one, trouble is they support fascist causes in the world so I really want to drop it and I would if I was a big spender...

The GOP would be worse (if they had the chance) on ordinary peoples ability to have a good economic life. Both "parties" support the cutthroat corporatocracy and it in turn supports any party that won't object to anything they do, like ruining the world's ecology...

@PleasurePunch Well, Biden just capped late fees on credit cards at $8. So there are some efforts by some to tamp down on greed and predatory practices.

@Ynotisay Its a good move but still a little band aid, so much destruction of our lives through the corporatocracy in general... and then we only have to pay $8 sometimes. Its ok but I'm not taking a day off to celebrate.

Know what I mean?

Biden still supports genocide in Palestine. The money flows and goes and no one seemingly can stop it.

@Ynotisay How about truth in general??? Its no "magic".

@PleasurePunch What I meant with 'magic wand' is a leader selling quick fixes. You know, Bernie Sanders. Donald Trump. They do that because they know their audience is largely made up of emotional thinkers, who don't dig past the surface, and they get off on it. It's not about implementation. It's about feeeeeelings.
Grown ups understand complexities. If you do A then B happens. And this is how it affects C and D. Make sense? Probably not. Because you ran with "Biden supports genocide."
And you expect to be taken seriously with that shit? Uh...OK. You have fun with that.
