45. What's holier-than-thou is a business claiming more access

than they deserve.

What's holier-than-thou is telling people it's their own fault that they don't know how much each and every business they patronize overcharges.

What's holier-than-thou is expecting people who routinely hold less in their accounts- for whatever reason- to be okay with a business (not even a person!) to gain access to monies that are not theirs, cash they have no right to at all.

What's holier-than-thou is expecting us all to actually be okay with not being able to spend the money we earned because some other business appropriated our accounts five, ten, twenty, or however many times the actual purchase price itself was.

This practice could, for example, keep someone from being able to pay for a prescription drug. It could keep them from being able to pay for, well, literally anything.

You are flat out, unequivocally wrong in your support of this practice. It's about as anti-progressive a practice as things can get. You really ought to be ashamed, honestly, because what this amounts to is theft to prevent theft.
