Should people get together and organize a boycott of electric card payments, at least until governments are forced to issue cards of their own, so that you can use national cards which contribute to tax revenue and social projects.
Electronic payments are controlled by super rich corporations, the costs are tiny but their percentages a huge, every time you pay with a card you effectively pay a tax to the super rich capitalists fat cats, (It nearly goes direct to their bank accounts). It is one of the biggest contributions to the growing rich poor divide there is.
And electric cards payments are an area which governments could manage well at little cost. Though of course they don't because the capitalists who control the cards, and the political establishments are two faces of the same coin.
