"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Visa Goes Down in the UK, Chaos Ensues, Cash is Suddenly King
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Mon, 2018-06-04 01:00
"In a beautiful irony, Visa, a company whose stated mission is to 'put cash out of business' as quickly as possible, had little choice but to urge its customers to withdraw and use physical bank notes for transactions until the technical issue was resolved. Without access to cash, the chaos caused by yesterday’s outage would have been immeasurably worse."
