are you serious?

MC Visa have locked out competitors for 20 years, and finally the SC decided there is a monopoly. The question of damages is still to be argued. I assume amex and discover will argue how much and citi and b/a will argue, yes we are a monopoly but how can the consumer possibly be damaged by the 24% interest rates.
