Today I heard about arrests in Orlando and in Hawaii. Glad to know people are getting out in these two areas and occupying.

I can't believe that NOW is the time that Wells Fargo is announcing their new bank for the "super rich". You only need to have 50 million to invest. Coming to a location near you (the first one open in Chicago in April)

did you read the comments under this article? this one made me laugh....

"They are naming this after some carriage maker that catered to silly aristocratic wannabees. A bank that serves only poor folks should be created and the name should be 1917 Revolutionary Pride or Bastille Guillotine First National."

hahahahhahaa @ Bastille Guillotine First National

Something that has been on my mind about Bank Transfer Day is that there are so many people in the US that have had their credit completely ruined by the recession that they can't even get a bank account of any kind in either a bank or a credit union. And if they have been able to hang on to a checking account in a bank, they don't dare lose it. They will endure all the fees just to keep an account so they can pay bills from it, etc. and use a debit card to purchase goods.

Talk about entrapment! And the alternative to these people is pre-paid credit cards with large use fees or if they have an emergency, pay-day loans with over 400% in interest!!

Tell me, how the hell are these people going to get their credit back? What the hell are they going to do? this group is growing in leaps and bounds in the US. People that have been laid off and at the end of their UE benefits and any extensions are one month away fromfalling down this black hole.
