Seems 2008 didn't happen in your reality. The small people have to suffer because if what the banking industry did. Always been that way. How brainwashed you must be to defend this whole industry which has more blood on its hand than any other. Greed seems to get even the smartest people...

Not to mention how banks now push European Countries to get rid of cash so they can earn more by bank accounts/transfer fees.



2008 was certainly bad.

As for getting rid of cash, I'm confused by your comment. I live in Europe (UK) and have free banking; free, less than 2 hour online transfers; free debit and credit cards; and free and convenient contactless payment. So does everyone else. Not having to carry cash is great!

Part of me wonders where the banks are making any money, but there are mortgages I suppose (and 2008).


Banks make money through loans, they then attach interest obligations to those loans, perpetually siphoning from the money supply.
