Cloud costs are going down

¿Huh?

Companies often have less new stuff to add

They never run out of stuff to add. Give any company enough resources and you would see weird and completely unrelated stuff attached to their products. I kid you not, I can apparently get a vet appointment in a taxi app, and my bank is now selling clothes and.... car parts? While the bank part of the app literally has no option to filter out only incoming transactions. Priorities, I guess...

Yeah companies need to stop being allowed to be multiple industries.

Like why does every department store have a credit card now? They should be using their profits to pay their employees, not loaning it out at insane interest rates.

Usually those cards are serviced by a bank, the department store doesn't loan its money. I know a lot of stores use Synchrony bank
