Usage: Comparator

It's a new way to think and make a decision neatly with cards on a board.

You can buy something that suits you with the Comparator without relying on rankings. If orders (incomes) wouldn't concentrate to top products on rankings, income opportunities could not be centralized. That could close the gap.
