    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.

        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.

        AND shares in pot companies. How fucking illegal. Maybe the federal government can stop these pot companies from being traded openly considering how illegal it is.

          Nah maybe the federal government can stop sucking off Goldman Sachs cock and start looking after the people who it claims to represent and who are paying taxes.

      Then why isn’t Mastercard calling for that to happen?

        Because they, as a corporate entity, don’t want to mess around with the law over something that won’t personally affect their bottom line in a massively positive manner.

        I would personally love if ALL businesses stayed the fuck out of politics. Thank you.
