Slight caveat, while credit is a valuable tool to use, studies have shown that credit cards absolutely increase spending, regardless of if it's paid off each month.
For this reason I encourage people looking to build credit but afraid of debt to use credit cards only for non-flexible spending. Gas, utilities, subscriptions, etc.
I'm glad the pranksters realized when it would be going too far and pulled back. Making a mockery of a fool is one thing, but hugely contributing to disinformation fervor is another.
I'm with you, but is it possible this helps in some way with nozzle movement that might not be easily visible? Just trying to figure out why it would even consider this placement.
I had similar vibes to our wedding. It was in an old-barn turned reception hall attached to a strip mall. We had 2 half-kegs and 2 cases of wine bought direct from the winery. The strip mall had a liquor store so folks who wanted to go nuts "snuck over" (as if we cared). People similarly said it was their favorite wedding.
February was the month we finally broke and said "absolutely no more schedule eating out". We were getting eaten alive (pun intended) in our budget by lunch costs that add up so much faster than they used to.
