Time to get regulated, bitch.

And no, regulation requiring adherence to the free market is not “muh regulation”.

I'm so glad the right-wing rank and file has come around to not allowing companies to abuse their monopoly position.

Unfortunately, conservative politicians are still in the pocket of these people.

You think the right-wing rank and file should defend companies abusing their monopoly/oligopoly position?

It is. It's about the only kind of regulation there should be.

inb4 someone with "Well what about..." Start your own comment chain and fuck off.

These specific payment processors and cc companies exist because finance is one of the top govt. regulated industries, in past and present times. If only laws related to "don't commit fraud", there'd be 100s of better banks and finance companies to choose from. We can put a bandaid regulation requiring payment processors to enforce no more than the law, but the unfavorable status quo won't be solved.

Free markets only apply to humans, not goblins

God fucking dammit. This is stupider than most of your retarded jew hate.

MasterCard writes the fucking regulations. Regulations don't exist to benefit you, it benefits them by protecting them from competition.

Banks and Credit Card companies are the most heavily regulated industries in the world. If regulation worked, we wouldn't be here. The monopoly is one that they built BECAUSE of the regulation not in spite of it.

If you want to pass a law, you need to pass a Constitutional Amendment for financial freedom that restricts both them and the government from colluding to do what they are doing.
