Community banks are the last place in America where a man in a short-sleeve dress shirt can approve a $400,000 loan based on the fact that he went to high school with your dad. There are 4,100 of them left. There were 14,000 in 1984. Every time one gets acquired, a teller named Brenda learns a new software system and a small town loses the only institution that would lend against a combine. The acquirer always says nothing will change. Brenda is gone in eighteen months. The lobby cookies go next. Then the branch closes. Then the building becomes a vape shop. This is not a financial trend. This is the slow administrative murder of the only version of capitalism that ever knew your name.
@aakashgupta I'm so sick of AI slop. The multiple paragraphs, the "witty" 2-liner at the end, the fake insight... it's so easy to spot and so uninspiring to read.
@theee_bentley@FdrNphw I did not! But I do remember “run your hips”. Honestly I loved those drills, I was big on counters and trying to execute those in matches. They were so damn fun.
@theee_bentley@FdrNphw lol our HS coaches mostly taught it to the heavyweights. It was definitely more of a reactive/counter move that could be used to defend any sort of offensive attack. l’ve never heard of a high hip either
@jaysoulis1@FdrNphw anyone w collegiate wrestling experience knows a fat boy roll can be done from any angle. You aren’t supposed to know when it happens because they just use the opponents momentum to end up on top. A fat “man” roll is an actual move by tucking your opponents arm when on bottom
@theee_bentley@FdrNphw Well I said fat “boy” roll. In collegiate wrestling any takedown that a wrestler can somehow counter by rolling and ending up on top is considered a fat boy roll. The “fat man” roll starts from bottom position and is executed by trapping the opponents far arm and tucking it.
