I always have been nervous going into the bank to get my own money. Its funny to me we have a trillionaire that probably has never once had this feeling.

      When you borrow $1M from the bank, it’s your problem. When you borrow $100M, it’s the bank’s problem.

          Same attitude as a cancer.

          Capitalize on all the resources available from the blood vessels. Socialise the responsibility of recycling waste products from cancerous cells whose existence is to be a net detriment on the whole organism.

          Billionaires = oligarchs = cancer. Quick maffs.

      Few years ago, people literally had to rob the bank for their own money here. Thing was, when you went to the bank and you asked for your money and they didn’t give it to you, they were technically breaking the law, and you brandishing a weapon to while asking for something that is legally yours is not a particular crime. The thought of threatening a bank employee whose job was to be a verbal punching bag for an evil financial system wasn’t appealing to many people, and most people didn’t have enough in there for it to be worth it, so it wasn’t as common as the media made it out to be.

      A lot of “robbers” used obviously fake “weapons” and that did work - while also giving plausible deniability towards the law (“I didn’t really make a threat”) and for the employee (“I was being threatened and complied” without actually being in danger).

      You’d think our sordid history with capitalism would instill a lesson or two in our society but vapid “entrepreneur” culture and socio-economic pick-me-ism are at an all time high here and every day I am drawn more to the mountain hermit life and this is not a joke.
