What a terrible comic. It very much gives a “I just found out about communism” vibe. Without banks, you wouldn’t even have the choice to get a loan to purchase a house or get starting capital for a business. And about the interest part, do you expect them to be a non profit? How will the banks pay their workers? I agree that the rates are too high, but come on, it’s a service that you choose to make use of.
Well of course not, I expect them to not exist as private entities. If they’re so big that their failure would cause the collapse of the economy, they should be federalized to prevent the greedy fucks from playing fast and loose with other people’s money to make themselves rich.
it’s a service that you choose to make use of.
Imagine you’re in a plane crash, and you wake up on an island…
I never said they were the be-all-end-all of distribution. This comic implies that banks somehow are responsible for providing money to people to buy housing. This is a way larger systemic issue. People should be paid enough to be able to purchase property.

Or you could, y’know, house people without them needing to take a loan.
Banks are not the be-all-end-all of resource distribution.
Banks are also not responsible for housing.
Maybe the comic wanted to make a joke and not be a rigorous philosophical work explaining every possible detail
They are taking advantage of people’s hardships. The robber just takes from a well insured institution. A victimless crime.

What are you? A commie?
tbf, I think the comic is also making the point that the philosophy cop isn’t making a good argument.
yes
Did you miss the part where the comic defends the banker by attacking his attacker’s method of attack?
