    I guess I don’t care what pedantry explains how it’s not a bailout. What I care about is how the feds and banks moved heaven and earth to make wealthy people whole over a weekend while hoi polloi are left to fend for ourselves forever

      “omg did you try to withdraw over $250k? Don’t worry sir, we’ll do everything in our power to make sure you have the funds you need”

      vs

      “You tried to withdraw $40 but you only had $30 in your account? Fuck you”

        When they overdraft, it's an apology. When I overdraft, I get a fee that costs twice as much as what I had in the account before I overdrafted.

          When I was a teenager, I had a savings account that got overdrawn due to fees for not meeting the minimum balance. Then they just started piling on fees after that until it was further in the negative than it had ever been in the positive over the life of the account.

            Ooof. I'm sorry. That's fucking rough.

            Being charged for being broke and then ending up in a loop of fees. And on a kid no less.

              That's the wild thing, it was a small-town S&L. You fucking expect it when you go in with Chase or Wells Fargo or Citi or something, but these guys were local vampires.

          :free-real-estate: Be overdrawn by $0.15, get a $30 overdraft fee.
