According to BBC World News, the stocks in the US that are expected to do well under Trump are surging. I think those stocks are surely over-valued. Their value will be corrected after Trump loses.

~~In the US it’s illegal to bet on elections~~(see update), but betting on the stock market is fair game. I would love it if the some short-sellers would exploit this situation.

(update) It’s now legal to bet on elections in the US, as of a few weeks ago

I hope this question doesn’t piss anyone off.. it was censored on lemmy.ml.

I’m looking for 3rd-party banks that issue debit cards for use on the Discover / Diner’s Club network. It’s quite rare. Visa, Mastercard, and AmEx are more common and easier to find, but I have a number of objections to those companies. Discover is a clear lesser of evils. This is what I know from past and present searches:

• (FL) https://cadencebank.com ← Cloudflare, not interested
• (GA) colony.bank ← dead (or blocks Tor)
• (IL) https://www.oldsecond.com ← used to have a Discover debit card but no longer. Rumored to have a Discover credit card but I don’t see mention of it on their website
• (KY) cfsbky.com ← Cloudflare, not interested
• (MD) https://www.oldlinebank.com ← dead (or blocks Tor)
• (PA) jbt.bank ← Sucuri, not interested
• (TX) thebankandtrust.com ← Cloudflare, not interested
• (TX) www.extracobanks.com ← blocks Tor
• (WI) https://www.guardiancu.org ← dead (or blocks Tor)

If I overlooked any please mention it (even if it’s Cloudflare, just to know the options). It’s a paltry list considering there are thousands of banks and credit unions nationwide.. and I only found 9.

True Value hardware used to have a Discover credit card but discontinued that in 2020.

There’s some chatter that Capital One may acquire Discovercard. It will be a shame if that happens, but the upside could be that more 3rd-party Discovercards emerge from it.
