đŸ€Ż Wow, American Express moved their payment network not once, but twice, with zero downtime! 🚀 Clearly, they have mastered the ancient art of tech teleportation. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still trying to get our printers to work without summoning the IT department. 😂

Un relato de ciencia ficción económica ha hundido a Visa, Mastercard y American Express en bolsa. Y lo mås inquietante es por qué

Citrini Research, un hedge fund estadounidense ha publicado esta semana un texto escrito como si fuera un memorando macroeconĂłmico de junio de 2028. No es una...

At long last, even before Trump, the UK and Europe should not have relied totally on #Visa and #Mastercard and to a lesser extent #AmericanExpress. All companies provide good services, but placing your entire financial system in the hands of another country was always a risk. Again it shows of the sheer patheticness of our politicians.

Reuters. LĂ€nk till artikeln nedan.

En sammanfattning och granskning kring vad som hÀnde nÀr FN:s sÀrskilda rapportör Albanese blev utsatt för USA-sanktioner i juli 2025. Det ska ha varit bland annat att hon kritiserat exempelvis Alphabet, HP, IBM, Microsoft och Palantir för medverkan till allvarliga övertrÀdelser av mÀnskliga rÀttigheter av Israel i Gaza och VÀstbanken.

Och dÄ ska tvÄ av bolagen hon skickat brev till med sin kritik, alltsÄ tvÄ av bolagen Alphabet, Amazon, Caterpillar, Chevron, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft och Palantir, bett om hjÀlp hos Vita huset.

ApropÄ att hon likhet med 8 domare frÄn Internationella brottmÄlsdomstolen (ICC) blivit avstÀngda frÄn betalnÀtverk av Trump-administrationen, sÄ sÀger Mike Waltz "I'm glad she can't get a credit card."

Europeiska banker skulle kunna bli avstÀngda frÄn internationella betalsystem, sÀger artikeln. ApropÄ hur kraftfulla de finansiella sanktionerna Àr.

Albanese sĂ€ger "It is clear that my diplomatic immunity has not been respected." "Responsibility for this does not lie with the United Nations, but with Member States’ failure to act decisively – particularly my own country, Italy, which has remained completely silent on this matter."
