A Bad Year For Swine
As the cold settles in, the yearly reflection/introspection begins. It hasn’t quite started snowing here, but I figured the rats could get a jump on it.
I almost started a new story arc based on the latest FRONTLINE. When you start thinking about what credit card companies are doing it will really drive you crazy. Do yourself a favor and watch this one. I’m going to try and embed it here for your viewing pleasure.
I really do love PBS.

I saw that FRONTLINE piece when it was broadcast. Basically, if you deal with a bank, you will be screwed, sooner or later.
Best advice I can offer is try to move your financial life to a Credit Union.
BTW, if you really want to piss off a bank employee, just use the phrase “crdit union” in their presence. It will annoy them to no end.

I used to belong to a credit union. I moved back to PA, but never hunted one down here… that’s good advice though. Welcome to the tangent!
