This demo is surprising. Check your cards.

No RFID cards here

Think Passport and/or TWIC cards.

We are WAY behind Europe in regards to personal finance like debit
cards, etc.

How? You mean I don't REALLY have a debit card?

In Europe they use pre-loaded smart cards.

Preloaded with what? Please don't say, your money.


I think we here in the US call them....

wait for it...


Debit cards!

There you go...


Uh, are you as stupid as you post???


--------------------

No he is confused. We have preloaded cards here. Those with bad credit use
them. Europe uses debit cards just like us. Linked to your bank account.
You must not have ever been to Europe, or only for a short vacation, as you
seem to be lacking in experience. Debit cards are not normally preloaded,
but credit cards than can be used as debit are.
