It’s Obama’s Fucking Fault Banks are Charging Ridiculous Fees
You’ve all heard that Bank of America is going to start charging a $5 monthly debit card fee if you use your debit card, right? Who the fuck wants to pay more money? I’m fucking broke.
Many other banks are starting to charge crazy fees if you don’t meet minimum balances. Now normally, I’d be like “fuck these banks, screw big business, they’re greedy and they’re out to bleed everyone” That’s true. But this is America. The point is for there to be a free market. If you are talented enough to build up a business and make money, that means you’re fucking good and you are doing something right. Hate big business? Look at Apple. Everyone loves Apple, so shut the fuck up. They’re not a big business? They don’t exploit Chinese workers in Foxconn factories making 4 cents per day manufacturing iPhone screens and then jumping off the roof because their life sucks? This is why Apple is a multi-billion dollar company.
So why are these banks charging fees? Here’s why:
In October, theDodd-Frank financial reformlaw will lower interchange fees, which is the amount banks can charge retailers for debit transactions. Fees for retailers will shrink from 44 cents to a cap of 24 cents, which has led some debit card issuers to seek other ways to make up that revenue.
[according to a Bank of America Statement]: This new fee allows us to continue to offer the convenience of a debit card with the full range of added features customers have come to expect, including fraud protection and monitoring, special savings programs and other services, a bank memo stated, according to Dow Jones.
Here are my views:
- This is America. I am laissez faire. Stop fucking regulating this shit. It causes problems.
- To a certain extent, we still need to make sure that companies aren’t screwing people though.
- The minute you start overregulating and control-freaking shit, who gets screwed? The people. Yes, the people. Because these corporations are like… Fuck this – if I have to pay more, you have to pay more. It makes sense… And the innocent working people getscrewed. The middle class gets screwed. There is no more middle class because we’re paying fucking bank fees all day and Jamal over there on the corner is blazing it up, collecting disability,welfareand food stamps and selling crack. Bro’s doing better than I am.
Why Do The NYC Subway Turnstyles Still Say No Tokens?
Is this shit for real? Why do turnstyles still say no tokens? It’s like 2011. The MetroCard existed since 1993 and was mainstream in like 1999. Tokens were eliminated by 2003. There’s not even a slot to put tokens anywhere. No shit you can’t use tokens. Can’t they think of a better message to put there? It might as well say “No unicorns or rainbows”
Fucking MTA.
Women Were So Fucking Ugly During Prohibition
This dude Carie Nation is the nastiest man that existed
I’m watching Ken Burns’ special on Prohibition. It’s pretty boring, but I get the idea. I have one main observation: why the fuck were women so God damn ugly back then?
Seriously? Were these morons stupid, trying to ban alcohol? How’d they ever fuck? Who in their soberest mind would bang one of these dogs? I mean, these women make Meg look hot, and I puked alittlebit in my mouth thinking about that analogy.
These bitches should have embraced alcohol. It might have helped their chances getting some poor dude shitfaced enough to brown bag them.
Horrible. This Should Never Happen to Anyone. Ever.
(Newser) –Bullies are continuing to plague a grief-stricken family even after the suicide of their 14-year-old gay son. New York student Jamey Rodemeyerkilled himselfafter repeatedly complaining about bullies at his school and after making a heart-breaking YouTube video where he talked of his hopes for a better future.Now those same bullies chanted we’re glad he’s dead when Jamey’s 16-year-old sister, Alyssa, attended a homecoming dance. She was having a great time, and all of a sudden a Lady Gaga song came on, and they all started chanting for Jamey, all of his friends, Jamey’s mom, Tracy, said on theToday Show.Then the bullies that put him into this situation started chanting, ‘You’re better off dead!’ and ‘We’re glad you’re dead!’Alyssa came home in tears, said her mom. It turned into bullying even after he’s gone. Her dad added: I can’t grasp it. I don’t know why anyone would do that. They have no heart. Authorities are still consideringwhether to file hate crime or criminal harassmentcharges against the key bullies who taunted Jamey.
Authorities are deciding whether or not to file criminal charges against the bullies? That’s bullshit. Our legal system sucks. It’s a slap on the wrist. What really needs to happen is that the family needs to round up anyone who ever talked shit to this kid, grab some automatics and spray the shit out of the bullies until they die a slow painful death. That’s what needs to happen. This is the most disturbing, fucked up story I’ve seen on the internet, possibly ever.
Seriously… What did this kid ever do to anyone? Not only did these assholes make him so miserable, they made fun of him and his family after he died. No words.Absolutelyno words. Shameful.
RIP bro:

Google Needs to Get their UI Shit Together

Fuck man… Google is starting to screw the hell up… Anyone see the new Gmail redesign? Looks like shit and a half. It’s buggy too. I legit found crazy UI bugs. Not only are the colors bland as shit, but the buttons are ridiculous and it’s impossible to find anything. Whatever happened to the simple days where everything was blue and nice looking.
Not that I use iOS, but I heard the new Gmail app was a complete flop and they had to pull it because it sucked so bad. They released it half assed and buggy. WOW…
Same with Google Reader… It’s like the UI designer just wanted to remove all colors and shit. They’re basically taking these products and trying to make them look more like Google+ which no one uses anyway…
Get your shit together. Jesus…
