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.

A great article disproving your point.
When did a US state drop out of the banking system like UK did in
1992?

But their credit card and debit card switches don't.
That is particularly true between northern and southern Europe. When
you get out of the Euro zone, they may not have any connectivity at
all.

Would you really want your vacation to depend on an Italian or Greek's
bank's switch working?


I was more talking about our economy and infrastructure, etc. Our
geography alone makes things a lot different for business... I don't
expect kevin to get anywhere near that...

again, you are talking stupid.

Drive across Italy. Then drive across the USA. Even you should be able to tell the difference.

First, you'd need to show Loogy where Italy is on the map.
