Once upon a time, my father worked for short in USA. He did not close his bank account, thinking it could be useful if he once would come back in USA. The $ +100$ he let in his account quickly transformed in negative, until he wrote he really not need any account more under such fast deteriorating conditions!

…Americans are getting angry…. Quit while you’re 5 feet under. It won’t be tolerated for much longer. Denial of closing accounts to siphon fees from the reluctant, irritated people is STEALING & Enslavement. I know my first amendment rights are being scrutinized, but when everyone unites, I am going to LMAO knowing 99% of the country wants to take bats to the 1%, and it will not be to play softball….

Stop spending. Just buy what you need to eat and pay for the minimum bills to get by. Very soon if everyone was to do this the economy would collapse and be surplanted by a Utopian system where there is no debt. Think about it, does a bear think about his debts while crapping in the woods? Debt is a figment of our imagination.

Don’t stop at Banks, SELL EVERY SHARE YOU OWN! It’s just as important to close down the massive profits and incredible hardships that companies are inflicting on people in the name of profit.

Can’t you see that when you invest, you are giving your money to unscrupulous directors, who hike prices of everything and create huge monopolies, so they can “make profits that their shareholders demand”. It’s YOU, the millions of people who give their hard earned money, who will use it to fuel inflation and misery.

Kill the Stock Exchange and the mad gambling with your moeny will stop once and for all.

As banksters can make huge profits by investing US $ they get at zero interest rate wherever the interest rate is above zero %, they’re not pleased to see the cash cows enabling their reckless casino games that crashed the global economy, dry up.

One alternative is to transfer all money gradually (Internet banking) to a small local bank or credit union (that invests in (sustainable) local business), and to send a letter by registered post that the “too big to fail” account no longer will be used. Maybe a sympathising lawyer can make a prototype letter.
