IsambardPrince3.3% of government workers took the buyout offer.Feb 13 22:41
IsambardPrinceNow they move to stack rank I guess.Feb 13 22:41

IsambardPrinceschestowitz-pi, I posted:Feb 13 23:04
IsambardPrince"The stupid thing about DOGE killing the CFPB is that it doesn't even cost taxpayer money. The banks have to pay its budget through the Fed, so it doesn't even fall under the lie of government efficiency.Feb 13 23:04
IsambardPrinceThe banks hate it because it has returned over $26 billion to customers who got cheated by dishonest corrupt, and notorious banks, including some of everyone's favorites that have another scandal seemingly every year, like Wells Fargo.Feb 13 23:04
IsambardPrinceMeanwhile, Trump gets caught trying to give Musk $400 million of tax money.Feb 13 23:04
IsambardPrinceA corrupt contract for the State Department to buy $400 million of armored Teslas (Why does the State Department need those?) was canceled after the media caught onto it.Feb 13 23:04
IsambardPrinceThe mistake was that the government accidentally named Tesla instead of a generic EV maker."Feb 13 23:04
IsambardPrinceMinceR, ^Feb 13 23:04
MinceRfelon musk and his fellow nazis probably don't even understand government efficiency, or how any of it worksFeb 13 23:06
IsambardPrince"Wells Fargo engineers a new way to cheat its customers almost every couple of minutes it seems, you know, and they've topped the WARN Act for my State for almost a year now I think for closing most of their branches.Feb 13 23:09
IsambardPrinceOnline banking is cool and all, except that most of the good ones actually PAY INTEREST, which Wells Fargo still doesn't unless you want to count a thousandth of a freaking percent or something on your deposits.Feb 13 23:09
IsambardPrinceI'll give them this though. They stunned me that they're basically a subprime bank with a layer of metal in some of their credit cards. Nearly ruined my paper shredder. "LOL Look at me, I have a high interest credit card with metal in it, it weighs more than your credit card that's killing you with interest! lulz!"Feb 13 23:09
IsambardPrince(I've never paid them interest but I did shut down my checking and savings in 2009 when they not only didn't pay me interest but started essentially stealing from me a "deposit account fee" every month that literally made it worse than cash in a cigar box.)"Feb 13 23:09
IsambardPrinceMinceR, ^Feb 13 23:09
IsambardPrinceJust a follow up lol for you.Feb 13 23:09
MinceR:)Feb 13 23:10
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Good time to close accounts at banks that are guaranteed to swindle you now that Musk blew up the only regulator that mattered.Feb 13 23:12
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Added: "There's always the OCC, which technically has a duty to protect consumers, but also pays 100% of the attention to the "and stabilize the banks" part, which is why it tried to sabotage and undermine the San Francisco DA's investigation into Providian.Feb 13 23:15
IsambardPrince"Feb 13 23:15
IsambardPrince"Stabilizing banks means letting them eat consumers alive with garbage fees and daylight theft, so the OCC will survive this era."Feb 13 23:15
IsambardPrince----Feb 13 23:17
IsambardPrinceMinceR, They used to have "free checking and savings.Feb 13 23:17
IsambardPrinceAnd they meant "free until you messed something up, then they go to work on you".Feb 13 23:17
IsambardPrinceSo you were talking about $45 overdraft fees each time you slid your debit card and didn't notice an overdraft, the bank would rearrange transactions to cause overdrafts, things like that.Feb 13 23:18
IsambardPrincePotentially you could not notice you overdrafted, slide your debit card 10 times that day, and owe the bank $450 in fees in one day.Feb 13 23:18
IsambardPrinceWhen Congress stopped that, they started charging $10-12 a month for checking accounts.Feb 13 23:18
MinceR:>Feb 13 23:19
IsambardPrinceSo they started blaming Congress for stopping them from preying on people who were utterly broke.Feb 13 23:21
IsambardPrinceThen told everyone else that it was "the fault of Democrats" that checking was no longer "free".Feb 13 23:21
IsambardPrince"So they started blaming Congress for stopping them from preying on people who were utterly broke.Feb 13 23:25
IsambardPrince<IsambardPrince> Then told everyone else that it was "the fault of Democrats" that checking was no longer "free"."Feb 13 23:25
IsambardPrinceWhoopsFeb 13 23:25
IsambardPrince"Then people started taking their money online where they can now earn over 4,000 times as much interest, and the big banks are reacting to that by closing thousands of bank branches, taking away their only "selling point".Feb 13 23:26
IsambardPrinceIf I have to go online to use Wells Fargo, because the closest branch is 18 miles from my house, why would I use Wells Fargo? Because they offered me a $300 bonus that will be the first, last, and only thing they ever do for me?"Feb 13 23:26
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I assume the same thing is going on in the UK.Feb 13 23:26
IsambardPrinceschestowitz-pi is doing his old man yells at clouds thing about the branches.Feb 13 23:26
IsambardPrinceWhich are worse than cash rotting in a cigar box.Feb 13 23:26
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Added: As to the particular point of the CFPB credit card tool, my God who thought this up? It's terrible.Feb 13 23:29
IsambardPrinceWhen I tried it out, it said there were some credit cards out there with decent rewards and a 12% interest rate or something, but then you find out it's a credit union with one branch and you have to drive to Maine or something, and it's being listed alongside garbage fee harvesters from monster banks that are issuing 40% interest cards with $100 annual fees to people like my mother.Feb 13 23:29
MinceR:)Feb 13 23:30
IsambardPrinceMinceR, This is why I need to learn German, I need this in my life but I'm not that motivated.Feb 13 23:30
IsambardPrinceI think it would be great to stand there and rant about banking shaking my fist and making all sorts of weird body movements, in German.Feb 13 23:31
IsambardPrinceSounds like Hitler about to invade your country, and it's about a $12 banking fee from Wells Fargo.Feb 13 23:31
IsambardPrinceIt's hard to sound truly evil without shouting in German you know.Feb 13 23:32
IsambardPrinceIt's such a harsh language on the ears that it really makes anything sound much more menacing.Feb 13 23:32
IsambardPrinceEspecially post-Hitler.Feb 13 23:32

IsambardPrince"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - All probationary staff at the Office of Personnel Management were fired on Thursday in a conference call and given less than an hour to leave the building in Washington, two sources familiar with the dismissal told Reuters.Feb 13 23:59
IsambardPrinceAbout 100 people were on the call inside OPM, the U.S. government’s human resources agency. Staff on probation were told that because they had not taken the Trump administration’s buyout offer, they were being fired, a union source and an OPM staff member said."Feb 13 23:59
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Probationary means you worked for the government for under a year so they can fire you without an appeals process.Feb 13 23:59
