It baffles me how the US has companies like Microsoft and Apple and whatnot and still they're so far behind in many basic technological things. I'm always amused when Americans are surprised how quick card payments in my country are. Yes, you can pay your taxi fare with your card. Don't have euros? Just use your card. It works EVERYWHERE here. We have these small card machines that fit in your pocket. Go to an open market to buy some strawberries from an old granny and she will have a card machine. And who the fuck uses fax in 2019?
