a. If our money is sitting in savings accounts in big banks, we are effectively funneling trillions of dollars to the same people who are presently and actively undermining our rights. The backers of this regime.

c. Strip that money and power them from.

How is that for a strike?

Big banks, big corporations, super rich, and corrupt politicians are all in bed together, running schemes to undermine our rights.

I don't think anyone disputes this. Although, maybe not all of them are bad?

a. Big banks are mostly devices that transfer wealth from everyday people to the super rich.

b. In our political system, money is power, plain and simple.

c. The super rich use their money and power to grab more wealth and rights for themselves, while we pay the price.

d. The bank loves your savings account. It’s cheap money for them since they pay you almost nothing. It’s stable money for them since you rarely withdraw it.

e. Our savings are a crucial source of funding for the banks.

a. Our deposits sitting in savings accounts, running to the tune of trillions, are the lifeblood of the banks.

b. When you put money in a bank, you're giving that bank a loan.

c. The bank takes your cash and does what it like, paying you peanuts in interest while hitting you with fees.

I should mention, consumer deposits at big banks are in the tune of trillions of dollars.

@karaswisher.bsky.social I made a similar case for a strike against the big banks by moving our savings accounts to small credit unions or community banks.

Retail deposits are the lifeblood of many big banks who pass profits to the ultra rich.
