9. Now you're talking about justice.
These are good points you make, thanks.

While on that subject, let's consider first of all the banks who benefit from this same automation. All those years ago they achieved big savings when people started using ATMs instead of other types of transactions like cashing and depositing checks. Banks being the greedy pigs they are, it wasn't long afterward that they started hitting us with foreign ATM fees.

Today it's fees, fees everywhere. My bank started charging me a 'convenience fee' for online access to my checking account. I wonder why they don't pay me a convenience fee because I have my paycheck automatically deposited online.

I just noticed my bank hit me with a $3.00 fee on a savings account because I have less than $200 in it. And no interest on that savings account either.

I guess I can't blame the banks for charging whatever they can get by with. I blame my corrupt government for failing to regulate them.
