  • It’s really unfortunate. Most banks and credit unions turn on overdraft protection by default. And many of them make it difficult to turn it off (burying it in online app/site menus, requiring people to call in or go into a branch to deactivate it, etc.). They do this because overdraft fees are a massive source of profit for them.

    But it’s pretty easy for people to get trapped in a vicious cycle of debt due to these fees. Most people don’t know they can turn these off, and some don’t even realize they are in place to begin with.












  • Newsom has always been a shallow chameleon populist who’s main goal was to accumulate more power and influence.

    Now that he’s achieved his aim of two terms as governor of California, he’s set his sights on the next level up: the Presidency. But he knows to stand even a chance of becoming the Dem nominee that he needs to move to the right quite a lot so he can be even considered by the more conservative rural Midwest. Turning against trans rights is low hanging fruit when it comes to that.

    The stupid thing is that regardless, most independents and even moderate conservatives will never accept him. His legacy as the firebrand liberal from San Francisco is forever on him.

    But still he’s trying, because he’s self-centered and callous. And in the process of failing in this new goal he’s revealed to anyone not already aware that he’s a fraud. And he’s hurting lots of incident people in the process.
