There is evidence that the banks & credit card companies have found a way to extract a few extra dollars from.....

....... us each month, even if you pay the bill in full each month.

But that discussion got me thinking about this and where we are at this point in our history.

Think about this:
1. They force us all to get credit cards if we want to rent a car, take a trip, or fly.
2. They slowly but surely raise the interest rates.
3. That forces small businesses to charge a small fee to use a card.
4. Now that they have the entire buy public tied to a credit card, they make the next move of this long-term plan.
5. If you have paid in full on each credit card for years and are never late because of electronic bank-to-bank payments.

6. Then this is the good one. They FUCK UP the USPS mail system to control voting by mail so they have better control over whose votes count. But in many cases, your mail never arrives as it used to it is slower and unreliable.
NOW Louis DeJoy has resigned. His work is done. https://about.usps.com/newsroom/national-releases/2025/0218-usps-announces-tenure-plan-of-pmg-louis-dejoy.htm?

7. They stack the Supreme Court to ensure right-wing control for years.
8. They hand this maniac IMMUNITY
9. Oh! And now credit card/banks are so greedy they bleed your bank balances by adding fees WHEN YOU PAY YOUR BILLS in full on time. See the link below.
