Here's an upcoming impeachable offense

Here's an example of how a crooked bank (in this case Wells Fargo) is going to benefit from the incoming federal government
Ya see...The Donald owes Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo owns the mortgage on the Trump Tower.
Wells Fargo is in a heap of trouble for falsifying people's accounts and signing them up illegally against their knowledge. Remember that? Well its still happening.

In comes The Donald as President and wah lah...problems gone. A quid pro quo. A violation of conflict of interest. Impeachable but I doubt the Republican controlled Congress will do anything about this.

Why does Wells Fargo still have customers in America or anywhere?

71% of US economy is consumerism and we really need to stop making the companies rich who want to kill us.

I spent the whole of the 90s and 2000s changing from bank to bank as my local, neighborhood banks kept getting swallowed up one by one by one...by Fleet, by BoA, by WF. It didn't matter what state I was in or how established the local bank was, it always got eaten. I got tired, so tired, of trying to keep my money out of the hands of these wretched bastards. It must've happened at least 5-6 times between '92 and 2007 when I got my mortgage...from a bank that was then sold to WF. Then, in 2014, I moved abroad. It was just easier to give up, and now that I'm abroad it's really hard to make the change.

I only got stuck with them because they hoovered up Wachovia, which in turn had inherited the only bank branch in my old neighborhood from World Savings. In my present 'hood, there are none.
