banks have never been a service...they were and are for-profit buisnesses that pretend to offer services while charging fees ( hidden and some so blatant they smack you in the face) and interest to pay out divideneds to shareholders...we all know this and it is why banks have drawn populist wrath since alex hamilton sold the common man down the river and institutionalized the interests of wealth as the national interest...i, for one, bank with a nest of criminal extorters who are so avaricious that nothing is too low for them to stoop to...usurous interest rates, new and exciting (for shareholders) atm fees, and salespeople disguised as bankers who try to sell me some goofy derivitve product whenever i stray into the lobby ( which isn't often anymore...i have compromised pricniple by taking to the drive-up window so i don't have to listen to the bastards) a message for j p morgan chase bankers: i do not need overdraft potection because 1) i know what is in my account...i check alot, 2) i make a concerted effort to live within my means so i don't fucking overdraft my account...even in these difficult times i am solvent...so back-off morons and shut the fuck up i don't want the products of dubious benefit ( except for shareholders) that you are being forced ( it is a job, after all, and doubtlessly some find harassing customers a bit tedious...those folks wouldn't make it working for a collection agency either...another class of economic thug) to shove in my weary face every time i make a goddamned deposit...i am a customer and for the next six years they hold the mortgage on my house so i will not be subject to the new atm fee...yet...if the pilot program in texas goes well i may have to cut up debit card just like i did the credit cards lo these many years ago....another reason to live as far as possible outside the consumerist utopia and make the bastards take cash when i go there.
