Every day, we wake up thinking that we cannot possibly dislike the banks (and their enablers) more than we did them the day before, and most of the days we are right, and our fear and loathing glides along on a steady keel. But once in a while we are proven wrong and learn of something so horrible that we are forced to critically examine our current stance towards the banks (and their enablers), and inevitably conclude that the intensity of our feelings requires revisiting.
Meanwhile, the banks lose 50 billion-with-a-b dollars every fucking year to credit card fraudsters, and they do pretty much nothing about it -- other than bill their customers an extra $50,000,000,000 a year to cover the cost. That's a sum that even Congresscritters would consider meaningful to the economy, yet it's allowed to just leak out of our pockets. It doesn't count, so long as it's not the banks who lose.
Steal a little and they throw you in jail Steal a lot and they make you king There's only one step down from here, baby It's called the land of permanent bliss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this ?
1. How is it, when life in the US looks more and more like life in the movie Brazil, we aren't storming these fuckers with torches and pitchforks?
2. One of our suits at work was bragging how our employer has one of the best customer service records in banking. Reading this story makes me think how this ain't much of an accomplishment. It appears that the only way we could move out of our exalted position is by starting to shoot customers in the face.
Too big to nail.
The misunderstanding is, well, understandable: The person at the call center probably had no idea what "quadrillion" means.
On the bright side, the woman can probably auction off the original statement on ebay for a decent sum.
At the rate things are going, the wall up against which people are put will be owned and operated by the banks.
Obviously, you need to set up an "Unskewed Zillow" web site.
