When I was asked how I intended to use the cash I was withdrawing from my bank I stated "That is none of your business. May I ask where you got this cash from?"
She looked as if she was about to cry as she counted it out. It is not her fault, she was just obeying orders..... and her job mattered to her (I presume).
Banking has surely become an horrifying freak show. My own worst experiences have come from institutions that combine messianic progressive values with ruthless exploitation. This has infected the credit unions, which used to be a nice mix of reassuringly stodgy conservatism and pragmatic mutualism.
Based on my experience in the 2008 crash, when I moved eight years ago I searched out the smallest local credit union to do my banking. They're great. This is a small town so you walk in and they know who you are. I only hope it stays that way.
Banks are a despicable kind. We need to be extremely watchful now. Any moment they can just bait and switch, turning everyone's savings into govt vouchers that they'll call CBDC. I'm not a "the sky is falling type" by a long shot, but that move is coming 100%. Only question is when, but it'll catch everybody by surprise.
Did you know the entire conquest of India by the East India Company from Inception (the idea) to Completion *Indian Banking Clans* starting with the Jagat Seth? The initial idea, the funding and the ready money and pay and logistics and factories *ALL* Indian Bankers.
They didn’t overwhelm the poor innocent Brown Natives with gunpowder or weapons nor European drill- the other side had all that too - the difference was the Company had MONEY, and nearly all of it Indian Bankers.

And the Crown came later, mainly as a check on the disgraceful abuses. However Richard Wellsey while a government man was officially just sort of oversight from the Crown, but still really legally the agent of the Company’s board… he completes the conquest 50 years after Clive, and officially it’s done in 1857 but that was only in response to the Mutiny.
Banking all the way…

In 2022 the idiots in DC, now forgetting EVERYTHING- seize sovereign debt held in trust here-
And that’s all they ever had.
Private Property being sacred.

Ha! The average bank branch clerk might even not understand that question.

I think you're right. How awful. It's a job that crushes souls.

Rat; we are the collateral.
