An important feature of the American economy is competition. No one company should have a monopoly on a good or service, if they do, they are bound to abuse the stranglehold they have on us consumers.So why is it that payment processing itself is pretty much owned by four corporate brands now, Discover, Visa, MasterCard, and Amex?These four companies are all basically the same company too. They have their own gift cards, and all four brands have the exact same gift cards website as each other. Copy and pasted.https://balance.amexgiftcard.com/https://balance.mastercardgiftcard.com/https://balance.vanillagift.com/And I forgot the official discover but it is the same as these three.YOU are effectively setting yourself up for a new world where you own nothing, everything is a digital cloud streaming service so nothing is saved to your own devices, you are reliant on companies for everything, and even all monetary processing is handled by four brands that are all sleeping together. Legally speaking, you can use federal reserve notes for anything that is not illegal, but you can only use digital payment processors for things they approve. If they all decided to ban food overnight they could screw over everyone lol.Lol.
