Who's side are you on? Do you have a survival instinct?

A year or two ago this lady threw a fit at Target and it got on utube and Target took some grief.  Then netflix caught it, 1 million left the service, about $15 million a month kick in the bag,  when they just decided the customer is hooked and stupid, I dropped part of their service, and we are dropping it all at the end of the year.

Next that cute little gal in California threw a hissy and got the banks to back off their debit card charge, and it is estimated she influenced several hundred thousand to move accounts to credit unions and locals.  My accounts are all in in state banks and mortgage company.

The big banks have said they are backing off those charges, but they also said the hundreds of millions a  year income from it is necessary and will be created with other new service fees.  That is no idle threat.  They will not leave the poor and middle class alone, they have a stupid cow, and they intend to milk it.  Get out if you are in one of these big multistate banks, go to a new one, or credit unions are the cheapest, they will help you move automatic deposit (retirement or whatever) and automatic payment systems over.

The only way the 99% can get these corporations and their stooges in congress attention is through boycotts and walkouts and demonstrations.  (I would say voting but that is not evident lately.)  Do it for yourself, for all of us.  Don't you have a survival instinct?  Fucking use it, fight or flight.

  1. Dad moved his bucks from Old National to a credit union over a CD. Shop around - and if you are over 75 - DO NOT INVEST IN ANNUITIES!
    One year CDs...
