[00:40]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3]: I was talking about sneaky ways banks make money off your "free" checking account.
[00:40]	IsambardPrince	One of them is the "overdraft service" which can cost you $40 every time you use your debit card if your account goes negative.
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	Used to be even worse because there used to be no limit to how many times a day they'd charge it, and it happened no matter what the size of the transaction was, or how overdrawn you were.
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	But they're still out there.
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	Banks call it a "service" to avoid being regulated as a loan. If they called it a loan, the effective interest could be up to 700% APR.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	Which is way worse than the worst credit card.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	So your free checking account is paid for by people who don't have any money at all.
[00:46]	IsambardPrince	Banks don't make any money off you really if you turn off overdrafts and only use your account for ATM withdrawals and paying your credit cards at other banks.
[00:46]	IsambardPrince	They make some money off people who slide their debit card. I don't ever do that.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	It's not their most lucrative product. When they give you $400 to open a checking account there, it's not because they ever expect to break even on your checking account.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	It's because when you have a checking account, you're likely to come to them to get a loan.
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	Luring you in with a checking account welcome offer is more about future lifetime value to the bank. They want you to get car loans, credit cards, mortgage, etc.
[00:50]	IsambardPrince	If you just use the checking and keep the bonus and avoid all their fees, which is possible, you are not a "productive customer".
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	When I had a Wells Fargo checking account many years ago I never quite understood why they were always pitching a loan product. I was young and I didn't really know how banking worked. I guess I had this idea in my head that if I had money in an account the bank was loaning it to someone else, so why were they so upset I just had a checking account.
[00:53]		*darwin (~darwin@ezriia7nzimpg.irc) has joined #techrights
[00:53]	IsambardPrince	Free checking is sort of a gateway drug to other banking products. That's why they tolerate it. Also, they eat some people alive with fees.

[00:59]	IsambardPrince	Hmmm....
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	The Libertarian Party's position has been to abolish immigration enforcement unless one of them actually commits a crime, and that's generally my take on it too. I think it should be any "serious" criminal conviction (like a Class A Misdemeanor or higher), right back out the door you go.
● Apr 30
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	Class A Misdemeanors are things like assault and battery, DUI, driving without a license, driving without car insurance, jumping the turnstile on public transit, graffiti, public lewdness, traveling to meet a minor (over the age of consent) for sex, speeding 24 miles an hour over the posted limit, shoplifting over $500...
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	MinceR: I like Ron White.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	He said when his generation was growing up you didn't have computers or Wikipedia or anything, you had to ask your parents.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	"Mom, why are we here?"
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	"Well, 4,000 years ago God told Noah to build an ark and...."
[01:22]	MinceR	:>
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	He says "You try to run that shit by a kid today, they go click click BULLSHIT!"
[01:22]	MinceR	well, i had plenty of popular science books
[01:22]	MinceR	still have them
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	I don't know how old Ron White is. Probably most of his childhood was in the 60s.
