What Jamie wrote
Not only do credit card companies create a private tax on the entire economy, they also generate a mountain of surveillance and sell that on various exchanges. When you step back it seems wild the role that these organizations have in the economy. We need some kind of data protection laws in the US. And honestly maybe we need to stop giving these companies our transactions. Sadly, the alternative is what? 🤷♂️
