This one is about the FDIC

     I checked my online banking account today and discovered that I had been charged for something they called "excessive activity fees."  The bank (Wells Fargo) explained it to me as an FDIC regulation.  According to this regulation if you have a savings account you can be charged $15.00 for every online transaction you make after six.  I happened to make eight, so I was charged $30.00 to my savings account.  Sort of a bounced check fee, only I had the money--they just took that money from me because I had the temerity to try using what was mine in the first place.

     I can't exactly explain why I am so offended at this.  After all, the government and our banks do things every day that are stupid and criminal.  I reckon this time, I have just had enough.  I feel they fucked with me one too many times and it is now my duty to fuck back.  I am trying to get that Change.org site to make a petition for me, but can't use it because I signed someone else's petition and when you do that they create an account for you but don't tell you what the password is--so I don't know how to log into the account and their website instructions on how to change your password are entirely fictitious.

     If anyone else has any ideas, let me know.  Apparently the 'creative revenge' center of my brain is on vacation or broken right now.

    I was going to make a post about the recent panic-buying of guns and ammunition, because it's really pissing me off--you can't find ammo anywhere and prices for both guns and ammunition have gone through the roof.  Then I decided that was a lost cause, at least for the foreseeable future.  What's pissing me off next after that is our lack of a real winter.

     This is the second year in a row we have had temps over 70 degrees (F) in January.  What the hell is up with that?  Where is my snow, damnit?

     I think we can avoid the fact of global climate change any more.  Don't panic, though--I have a cure!  We just nuke a few countries, like Iran and North Korea (before either nation gets ahold of a bomb that can reach us) and maybe a few others (just to keep the riffraff silent), and the resulting nuclear winter will even everything out.

     I have just saved the world.  Now wheres my Nobel peace prize, damnit?
