That's the classic "If I owe you $5 it's my problem. If I owe you $5B it's your problem."

if a worker is on their phone during a shift for 5 minutes it's time theft and unfair to the corporation because that's 60c of productivity lost. if a corporation systematically extracts maximum profit from a worker while paying them as little as possible, that's fine cause they took a risk or something

Banks in 2008: "Hey customers, be ready for some real shit with the housing market - we can't help you guys out."

Also banks in 2008: "hi government, can we pls have all the money so we don't pay for our fuckups?"

I'm so paranoid that I was scrolling and saw bank post, then another and another and immediately I was thinking there's some bullshit in the news I missed which some group was trying to steer conversation towards. Like how wallstreetsilver kept trying to manufacture a bank run. But no, it was Zoe 😆

I need to chill out.

Banks Suck. Toronto Dominion Bank screwed me over a few ways.. one was a line of credit with low interest rate, until I used it and they jacked rate up from 3% to 11%. Another I had a payment coming out that night, so I deposited money directly in the morning online. The recirds showed cash in, then latter.cash out with + balance. Next day they swapped the entry order and charged an NSF fee for when withdrawl came out first and left negative balance. I went right there and complained, they did not seem surprised and refunded me. But i closed every account, credit card, insurance, and RRSP I had with them. Now with a credit Union and it has been awesome.

One is a savings bank, the other an investment bank. The problem is these aren’t separate anymore.

That’s the power of influence. Come to think of it, wasn’t there a book making yourself indispensable? Lynchpin, I think.

Whenever I make myself indispensable, I'm dispensed with anyway and then the project just fails.

Also banning accounts for ‘hate speech’ and then assigning personal reps to Epstein for child rape payment processing
