The Rest of the World is Different
I just received my settlement cheque from the FTC. Apparently, as an ex-Amazon Prime member, I have been injured by their deceptive practices and am entitled to 29 dollars and 98 cents. And I receive a paper cheque. No bank in Denmark will cash that – cheques were discontinued in Denmark a decade ago. To get my $29.98, I would have to travel to the U.S., which for obvious reasons won’t happen.
We assume that the rest of the world operates like we do. It doesn’t. Germany still has fax machines. I don’t know how things are done in South Korea or China, but it is a safe bet that I cannot imagine it.
If you want to address the world, you need someone who knows each part. Distance is not dead.
