146. I literally just walked to BofA and cashed my paycheck and then walked to

Mon Feb 3, 2014, 03:43 PM

Feb 2014

another location to deposit the money on my rechargeable debit card, which is backed by a smaller bank. I am now pulling up my bills in another tab and paying them right now before anything bad happens to my money.

And it's the same process every pay day. I leave my self as brief a window in a smaller bank as I possible and have done so since the lead-up to the 2008 crash-that-wasn't-a-crash-because-it-was-postponed-to-wrest-even-more-cash-from-the-middle-class-but-will-still-happen-eventually...er...crash!

Indeed, it would've been a "crash" in 2008. Now it's sure to be a complete collapse of the financial system. A look at how the richest 1% are positioning themselves both financially and physically, like on a yacht at sea (or friendly foreign port) or with the purchase of land and the building of fortresses and down-right bug-out preps, will give one the only clue they need as to what is coming. Nevermind a rash of finance suicides - after all, with every winner in high finance, there are many losers.
