It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.

Credit cards have charge backs and fraud protection, buddy. You are significantly safer using them. That's the benefit to them being privacy invasive.

Using chip is also a bit cleaner then swiping. You also don't use just a single dollar bill or coin, you are touching multiple quantities, giving and receiving.

Also your other replies are super toxic and you talk like a child so I'm just going to block you here.
