Putting right up front in the headline that it’s “a possible worrying sign for the economy,” CNN reports that delivery service DoorDash is partnering with “buy now, pay later” lender Klarna to offer the option on your food from local restaurants. And yeah, “worrying sign” is probably the right feeling even if maybe this is not really the market itself asking for this so much both companies trying to force it onto the market. Like is this a good thing for some broke-ass 23 year-old stoner without the impulse control to avoid ordering Taco Bell at fucking 190 percent the walk-in price?
In the moment, yes, but in the longer-run of freaking course not. Plus that “Oh I only have two payments left on my dozen eggs” joke really didn’t need to be actually possible in real life.
