With this digital euro, all fees are paid by the EU. Which is the right way to do it. It shouldn’t cost anything to spend and transfer money - just as it doesn’t with cash.
I can’t get my head around how much money VISA and MasterCard is pulling out of society today.

I don’t think you know how LLM’s are trained then. It can become racist by mistake.
An example is, that there’s 100.000 white people and 50.000 black people in a society. The statistic shows that there has been hired 50% more white people than black. What does this tell you?
Obvious! There’s also 50% more white people to begin with, so black and white people are hired at the same rate! But what does the AI see?
It sees 50% increase in hiring white people. And then it can lean towards doing the same.
You see how this was / is in no way racist, but it ends up as it, as a consequence of something completely different.
TLDR People are still racist though, but it’s not always why the AI is.

Am I missing something...
This already happened with the industrial revolution. It did make the rich awfully rich, but let’s be honest. People are way better off today too.
It’s not perfect, but it does help in the long run. Also, there’s a big difference in which country you’re in.
Capitalist-socialism will be way better off than hard core capitalism, because the mind set and systems are already in place to let it benefit the people more.
