      More competition would be good for everyone… assuming the competition it isn’t a government-run spying system.

      This should be yet another wake-up call to US Conservatives that the policies of the current administration are bad for business.

      As much as I welcome the realization of this, it also makes me tired that Europe constantly has to find itself on the edge before beginning to act.

      Digital infrastructure, payment infrastructure, military, energy.

      I didn’t see the digital infrastructure and military problem 10 years ago, but even I knew that energy and payment infrastructure was already an enormous problem even 10-15 years ago.

      You prepare for independence, you don’t seek it when you need it.

      Experts, not few, major hordes of expert tried to create awareness.

      The consultants with their sweet talks and grooming convinced everyone it wouldn’t be a problem. The consultants and project managers are not experts, they are salesmen.

      When you are in power you NEVER listen to consultants. You call the consultants after you have decided with the help of INDEPENDENT experts.

      Visa and Mastercard are not Europe’s only credit processor. They have many already. Nothing burger.

      Thank God that the Indian govt sorted out this shit by creating an indigenous payment system as an alternative to the duopoly. IIRC, Visa and MasterCard had complained about this move to the US Gov back in 2021 that this move would hurt the „level playing field“.
