http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/10/kristen_christian_bank_boycott_bank_transfer_day_occupy_wall_street.php - I've actually been contemplating what this movement or boycott or whatever you want to call it suggests for some time (to pull my remaining money out of Wells Fargo and put it in my credit union; currently it's split about 30/70, I think), but not particularly because of ideological reasons or annoyance with increasing fees. (I usually have enough on deposit that I escape them, so they're mostly invisible to me, although that might change soon... better reread the latest dispatch from them.) Rather, simply because my credit union offers better interest rates. Not great (is there any such thing these days?), but better, as in existent, whole numbers in front of the decimal point instead of fractions of a percent that are just about as good as sticking it under the mattress.
(Odd logo:
I mean, I get it - November 5th and all - but still, strange to see the American flag combined with a V mask.)
