It feels like I’m the only one fighting. Banks are blatantly & bluntly breaking consumer protection laws because no one is holding them to account. Companies that breach contracts always say “we’ve had no complaints”. When I go to orgs like #ACLU & #EFF & other civil liberties orgs, they can’t be bothered. We need fewer pushovers. *We need more activists, damnit*
@koherecoWatchdog with bitcoin on the horizon, is the juice worth the squeeze?
@skells btc is only viable when 2 parties opt to use it. If your utility company, mortgage lender, and tax collector only accept bank payments you’re stuffed. Laws forcing legal tender acceptance are getting ignored more and more.
@koherecoWatchdog what are the most egregious breaches in your view? please be specific
@skells What happened to the requirement to accept legal tender? It's not being enforced.
@skells There's a limit to how specific i can be, but if you're doing business with someone who refuses to accept cash and you no longer have a bank acct, that debt just piles on the penalties. Yet a bank has a right to refuse business to anyone.
