#braillematters — Public Fediverse posts

@JonathanSimeone That's why I posted and pointed out the experience I had with the #DiscoverCard which features all card info in #Braille on the front face of the card. I wish all could behold such just once. the magic of such will never be ordinary to me. It's why I also asked why other card issuers beyond the financial space such as health insurers and the government itself can't do such as well. #BrailleMatters

And for the record, lest I be accused I’m not trying to harsh anyone’s squee as the young one s say. Rather, I really and truly am asking what I think is a pertinent question. If one company can demonstrate that it is possible to create a means by which all card information can appear on the small piece of real estate that is the face of a card and do it well, why can’t other companies follow suit? And this doesn’t just apply to financial cards? Though of course we all deal with many of them. But what about other cards like health insurance cards or cards from the government such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Snap Wic and other assorted benefit related cards? It sure would make dealing with many daily tasks and maintaining security of one’s personal information a lot easier. #BrailleMatters

@ablade Still, they have a ways to go as Discover Financial Services presents all card information on the front face of the card itself. If they can do it why can't Chase? I've been politely advocating to them for years about this. I know that they have relationships with at least one of the larger organizations so I'm mystified as to why more don't advocate for this and also why this implementation can't happen. I rejoice for that which they have stil I long for more because I've beheld that which is possible and it's wonderful. #BrailleMatters
