The clash of the Titans! I wonder who wins?

Not us.

They’ll come to some compromise and pass the cost on to us.

sadreality,

We really need Jesus to expel these money changers imho I think we have better chance of the second coming happening before the parasites in power do something like that.

Reverendender,

Yes, I’m 100% certain that the retailers who have been increasingly price gouging us for the last 2 years will immediately pass the savings on to the consumer, just as they did in 2010.

“In 2010, lawmakers passed the Durbin amendment as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, which sought to tighten financial regulation in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis. The amendment was supposed to cause a trickle-down savings effect, where merchants would pass along debit card processing savings to customers in the form of lower prices for their goods and services.

But a 2015 survey conducted by the Richmond Federal Reserve found the Durbin amendment did little to lower costs for consumers and merchants. Just 1.2% of the surveyed merchants reduced prices, and 11.1% said their debit card processing costs declined. Nearly one-third of respondents reported even higher debit card swipe fees, according to the survey.“

The sad part is that if this goes through, no more credit card rewards.
