It should be obvious that The Beaverton is satire, but a lot of people seem to miss the obvious, so here’s the warning.

    We need our own “Nationalized” version of the service, or maybe we can grass roots croudfund it. Frankly any basic middle man services should be in the hands of the gov. This shit isn’t rocket sciance and those service funds should go to them and not some POS stakeholder

          Well you could hook it up to your bank line of credit and get all of the benefits of a credit card without the high interest rate and fees

      Yes this, Interac works very well and should be expanded to include credit, or as described by another person, link it to a line of credit.

      Screw the Americans, we need to continue the push to decouple our economies.

      There is no use waiting till the Orange Turd is gone, the elite working behind him is the real ruin of the U.S.

      Nope. We can’t afford the dev and maintenance of our own setup, clown-funding or no. Go with whatever Europe is using, as it’s like 50 countries already.

        Dev costs?? Bro the groundwork is already known this shit won’t cost billions (assuming fuckery doesn’t happen) , it provides us jobs and funds our gov, Fuck giving other people this money, it should pay back into the country. I like the EU but I see no reason we can’t just copy existing systems and pay Back into ourselves.
