Comment Re:they must hate cash, too (Score 1) 111

They require merchants to suck up the cost of accepting Credit cards and not allowing a company to charge more to cover the credit card merchant fees. Of course 'cash discounts' can be done but that's uncommon.

Not any more:

Beginning January 27, 2013, merchants in the United States and U.S. Territories will be permitted to impose a surcharge on consumers when they use a credit card. Historically Visa has not permitted retailer surcharging, but allowing surcharging was a key provision required by merchants to settle long-standing litigation brought by a class of retailers in 2005.

There are states in which a surcharge for credit card usage is illegal, but these states typically allow for cash discounting.

"Reportedly" told a Buzzfeed "reporter'. Yeah, I buy it.

"Reportedly," as in, it was reported. "Told," as in, responded to the report by saying (a) he thought the conversation at dinner was all off the record, (b) his statements do not represent his or his employer's opinion, and (c) noting that his employer has not engaged in such opposition research. Nowhere does he or his employer actually deny the reported comments, and taken with claims that Uber tried to disrupt competitor's fundraising and recruiting, among other ethical questions, the report doesn't seem to extraordinary.
