The Independent:
AOC calls Elon Musk a ‘leech’ on the public

“This guy is a leech on the public. No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him,” the representative wrote on X Saturday.

“Now he’s going after the elderly, the disabled, and orphaned children so he can pocket it in tax cuts for himself,” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “It’s disgusting.”

Bank to #bank #money transfers in the US are so broken. I had to send a bunch of money to my real estate agent. She asks “Do you use #zelle? #venmo?” No. Fuck that. I do not need anybody’s #privacy policy involved in transferring money. I could “send a wire” but that costs $25 in the year 2023. That’s also fucked up.

In the UK you just put in bank routing details and poof! Money moves instantly, securely, and free? Why? Because the fucking law says so. That’s why.

So I wrote them a check. In 2023 I wrote a check. Then I emailed them photos of the check. They used their bank’s mobile app to fucking take photos of the pictures of the check I sent. And it worked! Free. Electronic. With no third parties.

Stupid as hell.
