Since Reagan's decree that greed is good, the entire economic system has been perverted & broken.

That needs to stop.

And I need a new bank that won't try to take advantage of me. We all deserve better than this greed.

any interest on my money or to be used to pay my ever increasing bills. I live frugally. I haven't even bought new undies in 5 yrs. My IRA can't afford this kind of inflationary depreciation in order to prevent a bank from grabbing my money.

I need a new bank. I need a bank that that's honest ->

Forgive my request. I live on Social Security & my income leaves me in low income status. Currently I bank w/Wells Fargo. Their checking accounts require a$500 monthly balance to avoid a $10 mo fee. I refuse to pay that fee, but there's no reason to leave $500 sitting in my account not gaining ->

"There's been some instances of planes coming really close to each other or having a circle or things getting delayed... it concerns me about being safe and also about getting home."

Is the Other Party β€œthe Enemy”? Republicans and Democrats alike tend to overstate the others’ extremism.

"When we consider how much of our discourse is mediated through partisan sources and the fact that the governing political party is dominated by incendiary extremists, it’s surprising we aren’t even more polarized. A reservoir of moderation persists in the nation. It’s shrinking, but still present."

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

She knows that she works for Trump. He made it very clear at the start of this Presidency, by making all candidates for gov't positions sign a pledge to support HIM first and foremost. They all know, and made conscious choices to betray America.

Figures that if you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans buddies.
