So I took some cash out of the bank
🤡 Clown World 🌎
It was more than usual. The teller's manager came over to ask me what it was for. I was so taken aback I didn't say "How is that any of your business?" Which really shocked my husband because I am usually quick on the draw that way. How did we get here? The bank thinks they are the boss of what I do with my money? Just like the IRS things THEY should be auditing US??? We should be asking them where OUR money is, no?
Rant over. Just thought it was interesting how they chip, chip chip away. Over time, we kind of forget who was supposed to be in charge of what.
My guess is that, this is the result of the suppsoed changes to banking system as its weaned off of the "magic money" from the central banks.
Let me copy/paste a letter from Synchrony Bank when I applied for a Harbor Freight card:
We have received your request for a credit product with HARBOR FREIGHT issued by Synchrony Bank. Unfortunately, we are unable to approve your request at this time.
Our decision was based in part on a credit scoring system that was used to evaluate your request. The most significant reason(s) where you did not score well are listed below:
Recency of a balance overlimit on a bankcard account
Not enough available credit on revolving accounts
Patriot Act shit moving to elimination of cash.
