In the Handmaid’s Tale the extremists gained power by freezing people’s access to their money: bank accounts frozen, credit cards don’t work. Sounds insane but if you have control of government payment levers and private companies willing to do your bidding…dystopian fiction is our reality now

I asked one of the individuals working there (a branch manager I know) and she indicated high withdrawal volume. Likely a coincidence.
Although... I'm pretty sure J.D. Vance thinks it's one of those "How To" videos.
I think the "investigation" that Patel launches will be extremely onerous, using the weight of the federal government to destroy individuals

We must get savvy.
Quick.
