Of course, it's not just Wells Fargo that games the system. It's a general "feature" of the banking system, follow the link below to read about how the Royal Bank of Scotland loan sharked small businesses to bankrupt them and seize their assets. This after a taxpayer bailout.
Time for a new system, folks...

John Oliver does an excellent (albeit abbreviated) summary of the Civil Asset Forfeiture Laws in the US.

I missed the debates, went to CIFF instead, but have seen enough of the recaps and meta-analysis to get the gist. There were no surprises.
Yeah, Donald. No, Donald.
And, Hillary, good, very good, much better than the Donald, but still no.
Donald, he's not better, he's the end. He's the end of the financially empowered aristocracy that rules the US. He's the end, period, overdue, he's the "OFF" switch for the United States of America. And despite all urging by the reasonable people of the US, I see no offer to put a better selection of candidates on the table. I mean, fuck, why, any TV presenter hosting the news-satire shows would do better. Think Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert, and even John Oliver. They know what's going on. But the people that know what's going on - not Donald, think Hillary - they're too invested in the system to make a change. They represent the continuation of a system that will continue to exploit and develop the class and income differences that are destroying both America and the world...
Vote Donald. Someone will kill him soon anyways. And then let's see how the world develops...

Postcards still arriving from Colorado. I hear it from friends. They were mailed 5 weeks, or more, ago.
Why is the mail service in such a state? I could have walked it quicker... Is anyone surprised that Canada Post is done? I don't believe it....
