Hi gildage et.al.
If you have been following my posts for at least the last ften years, I have tried to encourage anyone that wants to listen, read, etc. to stay away from the banks, both here and on the "other" board.
Their lifeblood is money and we own it, not the banks.
If we allow the banks to administer it, they will always find a way to take a little off the top.
Each "little" over time, becomes a lot. Remember the scene from the movie when Richard Prior found a percentage of a cent being dropped from each transaction and he found a way to syphen it into his own account?
Initially we elected the politicians that gave the control to the banks, so we have to accept the responsibility.
To not do so, is like being the proverbial ostrich.
Can we fix it?
Of course we can, but right now, we're not hurting enough.
Good Luck to all!
