Mastercard demands US cannabis shops stop accepting debit cards - Lemmy.zip

Kinda an incendiary headline when it’s just Mastercard complying with the law. From the article: “The federal government considers cannabis sales illegal, so these purchases are not allowed on our systems,” Really the issue is that Marijuana should be legal at the federal level.
Yet it stays illegal because of conservative boomers and their fucking grand kids.

When polled, majorities are in support of legalization. If people would show up to vote more than once every 4 years we could make some actual progress on this issue. But since at least half of registered voters sit out every race, well here we are.

Worth noting that even some conservatives support legalization!

It’s too bad those conservatives who do support it are the same people who vote against all of their own interests constantly.
The current president can reschedule marijuana. He won’t. He claims not to be conservative, but I’m not convinced.
He’s neither he’s a puppet who only purpose is to get re-elected ATM.
