They should change DOGE to Duh. Let me see, first we use U.S. currency to buy all of the bitcoin we can and tell the American people it's to reduce our debt. We'll get rid of the FDIC, the Consumer Protection Agency and any regulations that ensure the safety and security of our banking industry. We increase tariffs while reducing income taxes for the top 1% and corporations. What could possibly go wrong. Oh yeah, his Wharton education is so much better than my H.S. diploma.

to look at their bank account and see the balance as $0.00, yep what the hell can go wrong. And who will you complain to about that? No more FDIC, so fuck you all, hahaha we got away with bank robbery.
I feel like I am living in a cheap horror movie.

Something like this would obviously result in bank runs.

do I feel someone with their hand in my pocket?

I said in 2016, he'll take mine, yours and the Treasury. And anything else he can get his hands on.
Maybe it's time to: Community organizing, decentralization, and independent cooperative banks.

When they voted for him, claiming they wanted him in charge of the economy, they all knew they were voting to allow banks to do what the fuck they wanted.

I see the part about how doing these things would require congressional action -- does it further discuss how easy to accomplish or how viable these schemes are?

That's the thing I always wonder. I see these articles, about what the TFG team is "exploring," and my anxiety level skyrockets. My overarching questions, since election night, have been: how easy is it to break these things? What can they realistically do and how fast can they do it?

Remember Silicon Valley Bank? My former employer, a sketchy tech company, was a depositor and I spent a few brief days sweating whether or not my paycheck was going to come in on time, if at all. You better believe I've learned to pay closer attention to banking regulations and protections, even (especially) for those of us with, like, $20 in savings and checking funds that go out as fast as they come in (I just paid bills this AM, after my direct deposit came in overnight -- this post resonates).

be sure to keep some cash at home. I don't trust these assholes further than I could throw them.
