Armageddon, I Presume?

 

Lucy Gets A Roommate

Season 5 Episode 7

"Everything's funny, as long as it's happening to someone else."

~Will Rogers

A little less negativity, a little more of the sound of laughter and a little music. 

Afterall Armageddon isn't far away, right?

( Sarcasm )

Do you listen to the, Countdown With Keith Olbermann, podcast? If not, today's episode is one of his very best. I highly recommend this episode in particular.

Run Don't Walk... I'm Pulling My Money Out Of Chase!

From For Ellipsis

"A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain."

The other day I heard Ariana Huffington's plea, on MSMBC's Countdown With Keith Olbermann, for we Americans to take our money out of the big banks and put it into a smaller local bank or credit unions. I remember thinking about how monumental that task seemed. When you have direct deposit, and you have automatically scheduled payments, it can be a lot of work to make any new changes. Still, she had a point. The large (TOO BIG TO FAIL) banks are recording not just profits but record profits and they are continuing to reward their "BEST PEOPLE" with huge bonuses. I have never seen a more blatant FUCK YOU! Have you? And just today, as I logged onto my account with JP Morgan Chase to check my balance, I found that some sort of "GLITCH" has caused my account to overdraw by $278! Fine. Great. I had money in my account, but now I don't. I get promises to fix it... but no indication about how long it will take. It is affecting folks nationwide, so I guess I am supposed to take some comfort in that fact.

I think I am ready to put up with the inconvenience of changing banks. As soon as I can I am changing to a smaller bank or credit union. I have had enough of putting money in the pockets of the very same people who nearly bankrupted this country, and I hope others will join me. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I wish I could do it today, but alas the last time I checked what little money I did have in my account is tied up in limbo while CHASE figures out it's "GLITCH." I can't even access enough to buy milk, and I suppose that is the mess a lot of folks are facing today. If you have an account with Chase, you better go check your balance and then hope for the best.
