US reimposes sanctions on UN expert on Palestinians
(www.rfi.fr)
Fuck the us and israel
Also Italy and EU for not protecting their citizens.
Aren't the EU currently working on a replacement for US payment processors?
Granted, this should have been done decades ago, but still.
Working on the roll out to varying degrees depending on country. I still can't pay with WERO anywhere here in Germany (or at least I wouldn't know where), but I think the Netherlands are way further due to the preexisting infrastructure. It might not be renamed yet though. The processing for businesses will be way cheaper than Visa or Master card for example, so this might happen fast. Can't wait.
And I can't remember when to use further and farther. Sorry if I butcher your language.

Fear not, even native speakers get confused. Simple rule: Further is figurative, farther is literal
so... I did well?
I'd say yes

There is a list with shops that already support Wero or plan to support Wero in the future.

I agree.
The funny thing is I just checked in the WERO app yesterday and they didn't provide any list at all. Like "lots of places, trust me bro".
Thanks for the link 💕
Funny because it was launched by Deutsche Bank.
All it will do is replace the existing national payment systems in a European one.
We have Payconiq in Be.
WERO can normally already be used in Be Fr and Ge.
Also, I don't really see this as a politically motivated thing.
The EU will continue to be vassals and even more so.
As I understand they are doing what they can but it is completely unprecedented for the US to exercise it's Imperialism against Eroupe.
Normally when Eroupe does something the US doesn't like the two just back room talk about it, not go public strong arm to submit.
