It cracks me up watching people lose their minds over tariffs, because it’s Trump’s move, and they’d hate him no matter what.
Donald Trump could hand them a million dollars and they’d still be foaming at the mouth.
They scream about tariffs that haven’t even kicked in yet, but not a word about the bank fees we’ve been quietly gouged with for years.
Meanwhile, the outrage at bank fees?
Silence.
You walk into a shop and see a sign: “As of August 1st, there will be a 2.5% fee for all credit and debit card transactions.” They get you hooked on the “convenience,” then cash disappears, auto-pay becomes mandatory, and the privilege of paying bills are taxed. The skim never stops. Miss a due date by one day? Boom, 30% interest plus a $35.00 late fee.
Everywhere you go, companies tack on transaction charges, 2%, 3%, sometimes 5%, because cash isn’t welcome anymore. Credit and debit are the only options, and the banks skim off the top without anyone blinking.
Where’s the outrage over that?
Maybe because it isn’t Trump’s doing. Maybe because banks don’t wear a red or blue jersey, so their squeeze just feels like “business as usual.” Tariffs make headlines; bank fees just empty pockets. Funny how selective outrage works.
And here’s the kicker, people assimilate with the same poison, then pretend it’s something else. They call it justice, call it progress, but really, they’re just staring in the mirror, nodding at the same rot they claim to fight, and never realize the drain needs cleaning the until it backs up.
