How a major bank cheated its customers out of $2 billion, according to a new federal lawsuit An explosive new lawsuit filed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) alleges that Capital One bank cheated its customers out of $2 billion.

When people rob banks, they go to prison.

When banks rob people, nothing.

Capital One stole $2 billion from its customers and will likely only pay a fine, if anything — proving once again that everything is legal for a price if you’re powerful.

Disagree. If you’re trying to prove incompetence or unfitness, you ask a really easy question where a wrong answer is immediately disqualifying.

Like, “Would you follow an unlawful order to shoot peaceful protesters?”

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

Will Stancil’s argument was that everyone was wrong about the economy and it was obviously just “vibes” and media that were driving their sentiment.

Now that there is evidence he was wrong all along he’s saying it doesn’t matter, it’s still just “vibes” because people (other than him) are stupid.

The only thing Democrats really care about anymore is convincing people that they didn’t do anything wrong, that none of this is their fault, and that they don’t need to change anything at all.
