Wrong time to put money into government...
my man... USD is daddy's money...he lets you use them, if you you don't piss him off.
if you are worried about USD, them being in some shiti savings account aint gonna be any less risky then having it in US treasuries.
Another tactic is ..... don't spend money on things if you don't really need to. Why keep spending just to continually spend, spend, spend.
I just have opted out overall and literally use as little as I can across the board.
Zelle is separate right?
A group of different bad people behind Zelle. But maybe enough to stop supporting those few South African ghouls working to role America and then the would beyond. You'll need to decide where your line is, but deleting PayPal account and uninstalling their apps is a start. Maybe you go to Zelle and use that while you research if there is something decent somewhere.
Maybe it means going back to small credit unions? paper checks? Direct bank transfers with friends/family? Not sure what best alternatives is currently. Banking in general is just not really ever going to contain good people - maybe if we allow personal banking at the post office one day - but that's a pipe dream as fascists are denying judges rulings and releasing January 6 criminals who tased a cop in the neck and admitted to it under oath.

With iOS app of paypal, you are forcefully giving honey as well, luckily, you can disable the safari plugin
what did PayPal do?
Oh boy... Look up peter thiel, elon musk and david sacks to start - three stains on humanity working very actively to end it as we speak. They were the basin founding faces of PayPal (I mean, I think musk came on after the fact or was pushed out early or something, continuing the trend of him never actually creating anything). Currently they are alll very active in the trump admin - two with officially appointed positions, one in the shadows. Vance is also created by thiel. Look up that "Dark Gothic maga" video (musk's stupid name) that's been shared often recently.
Then separately, PayPal owns Honey, and it turns out has been scamming millions, maybe billions away from online creators for years, probably some of your favorites included in that list. Active lawsuit ongoing - look up legal eagle's video maybe as a start.
All these billionaire fucks made their fortunes through Paypal and still likely hold stock and maybe board positions, can't recall?
Hear, hear. It fucking sucks that we created these monsters. At least I did, for simply wanting to use eBay.
