  • There are a few legitimate uses for gift cards.

    1. You can get extra rewards by buying them and using them vs directly buying. Lots of stores give extra fuel or reward points for buying cards, or you could have better cash back rewards at store A and shift spending to there.
    2. It’s a way to give kids money in a more controlled way than a credit or debit card.
    3. It allows someone without a Bank or credit card access a way to turn cash into digital currency.

    1. Bring back pork spending, it’s over all cheaper to spend 100 million on some garbage than beating people into submission to pass something.
    2. Increase number of representatives significantly, makes some things less efficient, but also massively reduces the power of lobbying, and increases the power of localized activism.
    3. Limit length of allowed legislation per vote. Smaller more focused bills are ultimately better than sweeping legislation that attempts to address everything. More votes also makes working together easier with lower stakes and more opportunities to collaborate.
