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.

They use preloaded cards because their electronic banking system is
not that great across the borders. people are likely to cross.



I just don't understand how the elites don't understand the differences
in simple logistics here and over there... Comparing us to Europe just
doesn't work, it's apples to oranges.


Our monetary systems work the same, moron.

Cite!


not even gonna' waste my time... snerk.
