   Just another example which highlights the fallacy of tech being neutral/apolitical

   I’m all for competition and alternatives to our current banking systems, institutions, and policies but what we can’t ignore is that we’ve failed future generations when we lie about the risks

     @tuban_muzuru Use Wise (formerly Transferwise). Not fast, but cheap and safe.

     Yeah.... it sure would be nice if I could do a bank transfer to Germany and pay the consultant working on a little projec. t for me.

     As it is, the bank people look at me like an pig startled by an alarm clock.

     @KimCrayton1 I thought Zelle was always linked to a real bank account..? If so and it's included with the other not-a-bank scams, that seems misleading...

     Danke sehr. Amerikaner sind so verdammt provinziell.

     Gotta love all the comments attempting to EXPLAIN what wasn’t needed

     This post was about tech NOT being neutral nor apolitical AND y’all took that to mean that I needed a lesson about how banking works

     This is why this space SUUUUUX

     If I’m not being called a nigger…I’m being told by folx who obviously don’t know me or my work, how the world works

     If y’all don’t find something else to do 🤣😂🤣
