  • First a $40 fee just to swipe plastic is stupid, even VISA don’t charge anywhere near that much for the card machine operator. Sorry you have to deal with that.

    Also does the US not have smartphone banking apps? Do you have to pay fees for a bank transfer? Is it the landlord setting those fees? I’m confused how a free at point of use system is getting slapped with a fee.

    Why does everyone in the US have to write cheques to eachother, wasting everyone’s time going in person to the bank to cash them in? Even my employer just does a bank transfer to pay me my income.






  • As much as I wish we could rejoin or even that Brexit was just a bad dream…

    Not going to happen. Not for a generation. Why?

    • The EU would not accept the UK back in until there is strong and sustained political desire to re-enter. This alone would be your 20 years or 4 parliament terms.
    • The EU would probably want some concessions during the rejoining process including a commitment to adopting the Euro. That alone would be controversial.
    • We can still get most of the benefits of the EU without fully joining. For example, the customs union would allow for free trade and free movement.
