Is our money safe in banks?

[ForgedCrank]

50. No.

The response from Government during covid changed my views of many things. All of my life I trusted banks 100% and laughed at people who didn't. Then I saw what government did, locking me out, etc. I keep no more money in a bank now than what it takes to pay bills. The rest I pull out in cash, much of it is converted into silver and gold (in physical form) that I keep stored at various places.
I used to think the honor system was enough to keep government and business in check, but not anymore. I've seen it first hand, and now I understand why my grandparents had so much distrust in government and banks. Every time government does something like this, they get increasingly egregious and I'm no longer willing to believe there is a limit to what they could do. I mean really, are you going to be able to fight them?
Nope. And in the end, they don't care if you starve. We are nothing but disposable resources to them.
