Treating everything by default like it's a credit card transaction is _the_ glitch in the matrix... these companies are not "like" a cartel... they are a cartel. The screenshot in the article is from my friend's campaign to raise money for her dog that got hit by a car in AK.. We surveyed everybody, and they all donated with cash from their bank accounts (debit). Nobody put their donation on a credit card. Nobody does that. Somebody should do one of these graphics for The Oatmeal's Exploding Kitten kickstarter campaign... Stripe has already made over $250K on this project alone (more profitable than 95 percent of Kickstarter campaigns).
