The beginning of banks began
no doubt
with one cunning man and the money of a trusting idiot.
I'm not quite sure how one was convinced to put his earnings into the hands of some rando promising to take good care of it.
Had it been me there at the beginning of the bank, I would have said, "No thank you. That is a very, very silly idea." and things would be very different now-a-days.
In the current day, we find it a necessity to have a bank. To continually write checks, swipe our cards and pay overwhelming fees to banks that are made up of our very own money. Even as I try to rid myself of having a bank, I find it nearly impossible.
This makes me quite upset.
If I could talk to that first idiot that entrusted his savings to a selfish and manipulative bank, I would have much to say. His trusting nature has made our current idiotic behavior seem completely normal.
All I can really say is, F that.
