Friends, there is only one winner here & it’s GooglePlay or the App Store & yes of course the developer gets a slice, but it’s the thinnest of all.

There’s been a recent spate of TV ads about “spending money to make money”, and it’s equally bogus. I ran the numbers and to earn the reward of $20,000, the business owner would have to spend/charge $2.5/M, and that’s not chump change.
Everywhere you go someone is wetting their beak, on your transactions just like today’s avatar — the famous drinking bird of the 1950s, it’s alive and well and living in your pocket or purse, it’s called a smartphone.

You’ve seen those commercials for a home battery backup system & it’s a crock I ran the numbers

Another example of “it’s not what we don’t know which endangers us, it’s what we know that is Wrong which imperils US.”

Yes, I have considered buying a home backup generator since my spouse is on oxygen therapy. The barrier is the cost of $8000 according to Generac.

Lately, they have shifted to a battery backup solar array for even more money with a tax credit if you act this year.

Here’s the problem the battery storage capacity is “limited”.

Yes, charging the backup battery is indeed free because it’s solar. When there’s no sun after dark the charge is maintained by the electric provider.

If anyone tells you different they don’t know anything about alternating current.
