I don't really understand why the rest of the world doesn't whine, when the US is the country actually keeping millions of the global population poor.
I would argue in an economic system that rewards the most ruthless competitor "can" is a very nice word here.

Edit: Of course if the author feels he had a burnout that's valid. But IMO a burnout hits you much harder.
Edit: Found an article in German - https://www.sueddeutsche.de/geld/zahlung-per-sofortueberweis...
They claim they need to do this to make sure there is sufficient money in the account, even with transactions that might not be reflected in the balance, and they also check for other "Sofortüberweisungen" to detect fraud. Makes sense in a way but still quite shady. If there wasn't enough money in my account, or other transfers pending would my bank even allow their transfer?
