re: #107 Killgore Trout
I deposited a a series of large checks in my bank last month. On the first trip the cashier tried to sell me a bunch of new services. I declined. on the second and third trip the teller must have somehow notified a “manager” (aka Bullshit salesman) who came over offering coffee and a chat. These are the same dickheads who were charging me insane overdraft fees a few months earlier when I was poor. Assholes all.
Inconceivable!! The blessings of free enterprise bring happiness and prosperity to all, without exception.

More seriously, the financial sector’s systematic exploitation of the poor (and temporarily embarrassed) is a real issue, and should be vigorously curbed.
