@sir_rob now that’s how it’s done!
If I'm understanding the Space Liability Convention correctly, if one of Elon's rockets were to crash on my house and kill me, my family would have to petition the government to petition the US government to charge SpaceX. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Liability_Convention
If all lending with interest is usury because it's lending something and expecting more in return, then all anti-usury people need is a "lending" option that includes something silly in exchange for the interest. The lender needs to give something intangible along with the funds, paid for with a payment schedule calculated the same way interest is calculated. For example, Bo loans Jo $5000 along with a high five. Jo pays Bo 12 monthly payments of $425.75. Now that was an expensive high five, but it's no longer usury. Because of how silly that sounds, I don't think it's accurate to say all interest is usury.
I get marketing material from four different "mainstream" photography outlets. This is fine.
But I'm not into generic photography; I'm into the niche that is film photography.
I have zero (0) desire to buy a DSLR or a mirrorless camera or a GoPro. On the other end, I also don't want an instant camera or other products sometimes called "hipster". I just want info on 120 and 135 film, development supplies, printing services, and used cameras.
Those four stores I get emails from all sell those things.
But none of them have any specific marketing channels to promote them, nor do they do things like sales or discounts.
I'm sure is a small portion of their profits… it doesn't make much business sense on paper to put effort into it. But surely they want to support artists and their arts? A little encouragement and community building might increase their profits after all!
@sir_rob Gotta call in the big guns when you want to damn something!
