And they mean exactly what they say.

The class war is already underway - the financial elite are actively fighting it, and winning by forfeit because the rest of us are mostly split into those who don't see the attacks and those who see them but misassign the blame for them.

But think of the widow and orphan shareholders. 😢

Taking shareholder money back. Yes. That seems to be the point.

Exactly. If this is stealing from shareholders to pay customers, it's because the original fees were stealing from customers to pay shareholders.

But the other way around is totally fine? It's okay to steal, but too much to return PART of what you stole?

Yes, that's correct, crime should not pay.

[–] crozilla@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Wow. Just wow.

[–] chosensilence@pawb.social 10 points 2 months ago

good, do it even more.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Burn the shareholders.

They're not wrong, it could be, but the question is should it be?

The Commonwealth Bank has been labelled the "shonkiest" company of all time by consumer group Choice after it won its infamous annual award again.
