Visa and Mastercard are two american companies

This post is a reminder that Visa and Mastercard are two american companies and that every time you pay for something with your credit card you are most likely paying taxes to trump and his goons.

This post is also intended to be a provocation to all the crypto haters and the cashless payment fanatics.

  • Reminder: Arguing and discussion is okay, but keep it civil and do not attack the person you are arguing with.

  • Any time you use a card at a PoS terminal in the US, one of those two are likely the payment processor as well.

  • I think that's one of the part where there is no credible alternative, most of your credit/debit card will be either Visa or Mastercard, they're monoliths

    every time you pay for something with your credit card you are most likely paying taxes to trump and his goons

    Genuine question, how so?

  • Same with American Express and Discover.

    The alternatives I know of are JCB, UnionPay, Interac and RuPay
