Thank you Very Much for your post, Mr. Perfect.
I'll make several guesses........
If they grew up in California, they may have gotten their first bank account with one of them as part of Elemental School
..... IIRC Bank of America originally now BOFA ** ..............See programming/socialization below.........
Otherwise.... Perhaps not being eligible for a Credit Union.....
Or lack of Due Diligence...... and shopping around.......
Maybe the paycheck is from an account at a Big Bank.......... and you can avoid a fee by cashing it there so why not have an account there too...
Advertizing.... Programming..... Socialization....... Being impressed by the Temple like buildings that Big Banks have.....
Almost like you are entering the Parthenon which was BTW a Bank/Treasury.........
Banks being the repository of that Holy substance....
Crystallized Time
Yours and Mine........
Also known as Money..........
Clark previously talked about the fact that many small businessmen do business with the Big Banks but these same Banks won't make loans to them....
Mentioned an internet tool that can be used to check whether a bank is making loans locally....
Again encourages people to use credit unions and smaller community banks.......
If the Credit Union is small enough......... your vote as a member can make you important....
Know from experience that fees at a Credit Union are lower than at a Bank........
Maybe/Probably there are some specialized services that a Big Bank offers that a Credit Union doesn't...
But that's so far, is above my pay grade
Down in the Black Gang...........
To paraphrase Prez Choom Man the Lazy Ego Maniac Dog Eater.......
Probably just as well.........
Remembering the greater dangers of a business credit card vs. a personal one........
Cash is King.....*
Debt is Dumb........
But you may need to pack a gun.........
Like Dave Ramsey does.........
Anyway the main point is that Bankers and Banksters are like me, killer apes/pigs with a depraved sinful nature and not to be trusted... despite the fancy suits they wear and money they have......
*For now....... Remembering Wiemar and Zimbabwe..... When & Where........

**Bank of Fire and Air = Hot Air, Smoke and Mirrors, Your Cash Ain't Nothing But Trash etc.
For the love of G_d, consider you & I may be mistaken.
