Would be interesting to see if Wero is added in Canada. While Canada uses VisaNet and Master Card's GCMS, we also have Interac and Payments Canada.
We'te not completely reliant on US systems.
It's Android, Apple OS, and Microsoft I'm more concerned about. These are all American.

Missed step 2, Congress gives the executive all their power
Trying to understand: the Constitution gives Congress the power to impose tariffs. The President imposes tariffs without Congress. Congress passes a law rescinding his tariffs. The President then vetos that law. Seems like something’s wrong here.

I still can’t believe that Pam Bondi deflected from answering questions on the Epstein files by yelling about the Dow. Truly mind boggling.
