All I know is that he pointed out in the presidential debate that the Quaran says nothing about hajabs or the proper way of wearing them. Sounds like a good first step.
Right?? The bank already makes money off the money people put into the bank. Now the bank is saying that their unethical practice of stealing people’s money isn’t as profitable as they want so they are going to unethically steal from everyone a different way that they can’t stop or say no to?
I have a credit union and unfortunately a Chase account now. I had to open a banking account with First Republic to refinance my student loans from 6.7% to 2.75%. They were the only ones that took on high student loans (lot of medical professionals) and required a constant $20k in the bank.
Once my loans are done in a few months though, I am moving everything back to m y credit union and closing Chase.
To speak to some others like my in laws, husband, and my own parents, likely plus a few friends:
They believe that banks offer more services and even more security than a local credit union (ironically my FIL is board member of a credit union but banks with a bank)
Like that there tends to be brick and mortar locations nationwide
Dont know any better (this is most people I believe, unfortunately financial literacy in US is low. Lemmy is not representative of general pop)
What are you going to do about it pleb? The number of banking companies in the US has fallen over 25% since 2007 via so-called stress tests. The population is quite literally tens of millions of people more in that same timespan.
Bigger market + less competition = you matter less

Too late. Guy could literally peel over next week and they’d be screwed. He should have never agreed to or have been allowed to run a second term and IF he does get elected for a second term I guarantee you he doesn’t survive it. not from some nafarious plot or what have you but simply due to…well…look at him.
But I got no dog in this fight. I’m in Canada. and although my elderly parents live in the US and I do worry about them with this election there’s nothing I can do. It’s like watching an oncoming ship wreck and you’re just screaming at the passangers (US citizens) to get off the boat, get on the life boats, save themselves while you stand on land not being able to do anything but watch. I imagine the rest of the world feels the same way.
I mean i’m worried for you guys, like truly worried.
The timing is so cringe. They all knew how old he was a year ago. Now, after one sad event, the sky is falling? Come on now. Quit grandstanding, my guys.
