BANK RUNS

[Mortblanc]

SS please get a grip and find some accurate information.

The banks over here are not shuttering the doors and windows on every street corner. We have branches that are closing because of disuse due to computerized services, but the parent banks are sound and sensible which is why they are closing unused facilities.

Our society and culture has some things going on that you can't understand. We are a vehicle oriented society to the extent that we do our banking without leaving the vehicle. We don't go inside, so we don't need or often don't want a clerk. We transfer funds at home on our computer or sometimes if we need cash we drive up to the machine and get funds out without leaving the vehicle. We do not need a brick and mortar building, just an operating ATM with lights and buttons to dispense our cash. That became even more pronounced during COVID when no one was going in and standing in a que breathing germs to see a possibly infected clerk so they could hand us money. Anyone that had no changed over to computerized, "digital" banking did so then.

The SVB was the last "bank failure" in the U.S. and it was the first failure in 2 1/2 years before that!

Things are not falling apart over here.

Perhaps the U.S. dollar is under attack, but it always has been under attack from some entity or another, the Japanese, the British, the Chinese, the Indians, the South Africans the Euro or perhaps New Zealand or Tahiti. Someone is eternally trying to scarf up U.S. assets, then we sign another trade agreement and get them back.

And I am still trying to figure out how your money is not already digital? Or why you think it is not. It goes to your account digitally, and perhaps you snatch it out as cash, then you spend it and the person you gave it to deposits it instantly and turns it back into electrons!

As for freedoms??? Really??? Did you not just live through a thing called a covid shutdown. Were you not legally dictated where you could go, what you could do, when you could do it, how many people could be present, who could work, who could operate their business, subject yourself to random stops on the highway to justify your coming and going, face sanctions for not vaccinating, have to present a COVID passport to travel or attend public functions and wear a mask in the process.

What are the freedoms associated with your money that you think can not be taken from you at the snap of the bureaucratic fingers.

You, at the present moment, have only the freedoms TPTB generously bestow on you at their leisure.
