Discover Card is now on my shit list · 6:11pm Feb 18th, 2023
It's recently come to my attention that Discover Card has decided to implement the use of merchant identifying codes, which will be used to identify and track when their cards are used in he purchase of guns and/or ammunition. Meaning if their records are ever subpoenaed by government they'll have a list of individuals who've bought guns and on what dates they were purchased.
Fuck you, Discover!
Discover if planning to implement this system by April. Assuming they aren't already doing it and simply haven't told anyone yet. Whether other credit card companies will be doing the same, have already done the same without telling anyone, or will refrain from such practices, is anyone's guess.
Cash may be king, but even the king can't do you any good when you have to order something in so it can be picked up locally.
Fuck you, Discover! It was bad enough when it was just UPS saying they were going to seize and destroy any gun purchases in their inventory.
Yeah, that’s some big time be
Almost any financial institution that's been around since 2008 is going to be monumentally corrupt, effectively bankrupt, or both.
If you can, keep your money close. If you have to have a bank, I recommend a local credit union.
What annoys me is “we no longer accept cash”.
Funny... isn’t it a violation of federal law to ignore the declaration on all printed notes that say “this note is legal tender” ?
Various nations say it differently.
“...for all debts domestic and foreign”
“... legal tender in xxx and it’s territories”
I mentioned this and received stuttering as an answer. A fair question too at the time as my credit card was not working with their machine.
Technology dependence is becoming a crutch.
