We need to switch all of our registration to Independence, empty out every bank that is not a credit Union.. And we need to set the stage, build our communities in our neighborhoods.. Make it up to where we can go a month with nobody working and nobody buy anything.. The sooner we can do that the better..
Imagine if every Republican and Democrat that disagrees with everything that's going on from both sides... imagine how big the brick that representatives at all levels would collectively shit if we set a date and everybody just all registered as independent.
I went to a small, local credit union. It only has one location. The big banks are all the same -- complete garbage and getting worse given this era of zero regulation.
It’s amazing how anti-competitive the banking industry is. Maybe check out a small, community bank. We have a few of those in my area, and I’ve heard good things.
@Denise Conroy - Yes after the chat here, I googled and found a whole list of all banks in the state on the State Business Comptroller site, or a Banking agency of the state....etc.
I think people can use this hack - to find out those in your state, go to your Secretary of State or State Comptroller. Very comprehensive list.
Additionally, automagically I came across another as I took a walk to the Cafe' as my Care maintenance was being done. Who knew a Walk makes you discover things we never paid much attention to, before.
I have lost hope that working with the system - contacting representatives at any level- will actually yield results. As you point out the system has always been broken, or at least inadequate, but it is so thoroughly corrupt now I cannot imagine how any change can occur with out a clean sweep and implementing a new system.

I agree there is a palpable reluctance to extrapolate from the events recently witnessed, yet folks want to resist. By all means do so, but don’t telegraph your punch. And ffs, quit bitching about trump and musk—putin is and always had been the adversary of our democracy, aided and comforted by traitors under full scrutiny of the witting and unwitting populace.

Unaffiliating en masse is a great idea and one I hadn’t thought of. I emptied my bank accounts out last week. Even the credit union

We liquidated as well. The devaluation of the dollar is likely imminent, I am thinking of ways to invest cash for durable and non-perishable goods.
@Denise Conroy So what alternative to Bank did you use/recommend?
I went to a small, local credit union. It only has one location. The big banks are all the same -- complete garbage and getting worse given this era of zero regulation.
@Denise Conroy! Got it!
It is unfortunate as all Credit Banks in my State moved away from being Credit Unitions----aahhhh.
Great article by the way!

Great tips and thanks Denise!

I believe a new system has to be the goal. Burn it all down.

Outstanding. I'm a big advocate of not buying shit...maybe the corporations will be the ones to rush the White House. 🤬
I see an attempt to take our country down - slowly, however, it is not doomed Nor is it ever too late to give up.
