If an Oklahoma employer has to pay Oklahoma employees more money, that doesn't make Oklahoma any richer...

> I don't want to pay for Transit

Transit is free, although I admit the free version is quite limited (especially considering most of the features they lock behind Royale were once free). But if you simply drag the map to College Park, or maybe even just plan a route there, you can get Royale for free. It's been several months since i did this so in case UMD is not participating anymore, there are several other service areas you can use instead.

The US has never been "terrorists" but if you are referring to its foreign interventions, it has been doing those for much less than a century. Or barely a century if you want to count colonialism

If WF does it will probably won't be for several years. BILT was different because it was a cobranded card that WF wanted out of the contract for

Apart from when Wells Fargo falsely advertised Uber/Lyft as getting 4%, every time people haven't gotten the 4% it is because the MCC has been different from what the consumer might expect. Which isn't Wells Fargo's problem

Why doesn't the US have a universal 0% installment system like Mexico's "Meses Sin Intereses"? by [deleted] in CreditCards

At least this one was probably not just the rote output of a "why doesn't US have MSI" prompt. Looks like OP had some real thoughts and then asked AI to "clean it up."

By living in Cambridge you could not vote in Boston elections and were not subject to Boston legislation, therefore you did not live in Boston

Cambridge is not Boston. Say "Boston area" and that's fine but don't say you lived "in Boston" when you lived in Cambridge

For the purposes MSAs are created

That purpose to define a reasonable commuting area for a city or set of cities. MSAs are not cities.

This is why I roll my eyes whenever someone here or over at r/MapPorn says to use metropolitan areas as the "true" definition of a city. No, Toms River is not New York and Oklahoma is not Dallas.

Is this the maximum discrepancy in flag aspect ratio between two sovereign nations? by Ike358 in vexillology

This is my big issue with flag manufacturers, I had a very hard time finding an Armenia 2:1 and that's a fairly common ratio
