Replying to @Chase

Demolish your bank and redistribute all the wealth

Because all the money in all the Chase banks belongs to Chase. Not working people who happen to store their money there.  ;/

There is a little more to this:

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/chase-bank-deletes-monday-motivation-tweet-after-drawing-social-media-n999756

Quote
The since-deleted tweet offered a hypothetical conversation between a bank customer and the bank. The customer asks, “Why is my balance so low?” and the bank account replies: “Make coffee at home ... eat the food that’s already in the fridge ... you don’t need a cab, it’s only three blocks.”

Given that Chase took a $25 billion bailout, perhaps they shouldn't be chastising potential customers.

(No, I am not condoning the calls to burn Chase banks or "redistribute" their customers' deposits.  The tweet was simply tone-deaf)

I don't like that they got a bailout. They should have followed their own advice in the deleted tweet. It's good advice. For anyone who wants to "redistribute" the money held by banks for their clients though, I'm fine with SSS.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

That jogged my memory on a fox article about that.

JPMorgan Chase Opens a New Window. CEO Jamie Dimon Opens a New Window. , for example, defended the bank’s Opens a New Window. lending to firearm manufacturers and retailers amid criticism that the company failed to adopt a responsible loan policy for the industry following the 2018 shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School.

The New York Democrat also cited Chase’s partial ownership of Remington since the gunmaker filed for bankruptcy last year.  Remington produced the gun used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Dimon eventually said the bank would “consider” taking a more firm policy against the industry, akin to the one implemented by competitors.

I make the montion to change it from SSS to just S.  Leave the dead bodies in the open with a note attached explaining the why.  Modern version of a head on a pike.
