That may be true. But then the transaction fees are at the mercy of the credit card company. My aunt pays 3% of all card transactions damn near. That's pretty spicy.
I can't wait for the day companies like VISA or Mastercard become obsolete. Please save my aunts small business from predatory transactions fees. ♥
I think you're forgetting the part wear the bear doesn't tie you to a tree and force feed you to use you. See the bear will mostly likely leave you alone. Or kill you.
On the other hand. A human male can do FAR worse things than simply kill the woman. Which I will say some men would just kill the woman. And to my understanding of the last 6000 years of recorded history... Men do in fact do worse things than the bear.
It doesn't sounds like you get the point to me. You're leaving out the part the men also kill women too. At an alarming rate in many countries.
Like in my country the number one killer of pregnant women is being killed. And while I admit I don't know the distribution. I suspect women kill other pregnant women far less often than a jealous man or an upset father. Remember that part in To Kill A Mockingbird where the dad strangled his daughter? I do.
Oh it's not outright laughable because women get killed in the wild pretty often by wild men. Near me a lady was raped and killed while solo hiking a several months ago. I actually just got an amber alert a few days ago that a guy killed his girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, and is now on the run with their child. Crazy shit. Hell the number one killer of pregnant women in my country is being murdered by someone. I don't know the distribution. But I suspect women aren't going around killing other pregnant women that often.
It makes me wonder if getting amber alerts at 11pm about murders on the run is a good idea... But I also don't have any better ideas regarding the matter. :/
Also I see a lot of people thinking it's a grizzly bear or something. There's many species of bears. And many fear people more than hunt them.
Anyway that's why I don't see this decision laughable.
I can't wait to see companies like Visa and Mastercard become obsolete. I think it will really help out my aunt's family business by cutting crazy high transaction fees she has to pay as a vendor.
In the United States you cannot vote for the people who issue currencies. The Federal Reserve are a bunch of privately owned banks.
