They aren’t wrong.

If the government can shut down your accounts with no liability, why keep money in the bank?

Yep. I'd bet they'll tell people you're only allowed to take a certain amount out of the banks once this starts

My main question is whether this is what the left wants.

If this crashes the regular banking system, that kind of clears the way for a new government one to show up.


That being said, it is equally likely that it causes banks to be deregulated to where they are no longer required to have most of their money invested and have low cash on hand.

I forget the numbers but cash on hand for a bank is a measly few percent due to lending requirements, which is exactly why bank runs can happen. Lowering the requirements on lent assets to allow for greater reserves would help fix this.

Look how well that went over I. Greece.

And they had an actual economic problem. This is solely due to Castro being an idiot.

Far fewer than there used to be. They don't strike the fear they used to, sadly

They did that during Katrina.

The Big Banks have bought up the Local small ones. That is very problematic.

I would withdraw cash if I thought the government was going to freeze my account.

Good. If you want to take away a big chunk of Trudeau's power, put a couple of Canadian banks out of business. Start with Toronto-Dominion.

Might even make banks with the bulk of their operations in the US think twice before doing the same once Biden wakes up long enough to realize this is an option.

Get your money out of Canadian banks before it's too late and you lose all your money. Transfer it now.

This has already been done ad nauseam

Ask anyone who has tried to withdraw over 10 thousand dollars unannounced

Banks are one big scam

Isn’t TD the one which seized all the money raised for the truckers?

Yeah they are a good one to start with.

Then try to transfer your money from a U.S. bank to a crypto exchange like Coinbase or Kucoin. It's a freaking act of congress to get your money from a bank like Capital One to a crypto exchange. However going the other way is really easy.
