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.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tried to evoke Holy Scripture but instead quoted Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" during a Pentagon worship service.
Hagseth read the altered version of Ezekiel 25:17 quoted by Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the movie just before he shoots a man to death.

Wow this city is great but I sure wish it had more vintage stores that sell 90s chicago bulls tees for $80 and old carhartt jackets for $200 and go out of business after 6-18 months. We currently have 9 of them but thats not enough we need more of these sustainable businesses
@1ssve Corporate “urgency” all stems from someone along the line messing up, thus requiring you to rush something so it doesn’t fall on them to make them look bad. “Poor planning on your part does not justify urgency on my part”.
@ive_arc Conservatives pissed when something that is for the betterment of society doesn’t directly benefit themselves, selfishness in its highest most disgusting form
