You’re right, 🤦CFPB was going to get rid of them (or cap them) under Biden, but Trump nixed it.

At least it’s not overdraft fees.
I mean yes they’re trying to bring those back, but like… for now anyways.
I’ll never forget one day when my sister’s bank logged her charges first, then her paycheck all on the same day.
It took one phone call from her to say “uh, can’t you just reverse the two and take away those $300 in overdraft fees,” and they obliged!
…and that’s probably why that lovely bank is out of business/got bought by Chase.

doug@lemmy.todayto Technology@lemmy.world•Anker recalls over a million power banks due to fire and burn hazardsEnglish29·21 days agoWell, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.
…I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

doug@lemmy.todayto News@lemmy.world•Are you ‘jonesing to fire less lethal rounds’ and ‘launch gas canisters’? Oregon State Police SWAT email misses markEnglish91·23 days agoIMO ACAB is great on a behavioral science level: it sets the anchor/starts the conversation with a statement as an absolute, which the defense then has to find exceptions to. While they do that grunt work, the catchy phrase enables confirmation bias in the fence-sitters and people who already agreed with it.
It’s like starting a barter at an exorbitantly high price so the buyer is primed to offer a price higher than they would’ve before hearing the anchor.
