Fed’s new instant payment system could be trouble for PayPal, Venmo(arstechnica.com)

Yeah we’re in the fucking stone age over here. No federal e-transfer, all private healthcare, practically no public transport besides in some of the bigger cities, and even that isnt very good most of the time. Also still using imperial, way behind on a lot of tech legislation, basically relying on EU rules to carry over. There’s a reason we’re the 3rd world country of 1st world countries

We had bank to bank and bank to merchant over the internet in 1996. And by 2003 the interac e-transfer for customer to customer had rolled out countrywide.

The history is actually pretty impressive.
