Just as long as I don't have to carry a bunch of CCs because I don't know what store takes what. Then they will all have different policies, security issues, fraud protection will vary, etc.

Honestly I can hardly wait to hear my management tell me how much money they've lost on their investments. I'm ready for this place to fall and will welcome the "end" when it finally goes.

When it does, I hope Canada invades (joke, but no really please DO do that)

As said in the article, in Western Europe you can already use Wero to bypass those and it is spreading in Europe. In France, for the past 40 years, the "CB" network has been available for every basic bank payment card, which is also Independent from the Americans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_Bank_Card_Group I think the new initiative will spread, unify and simplify things.
