    Punish the poor for being poor, and charge them even more.

    Yeah this is definitely what all these republican christians think jesus would have wanted. Psychopaths.

    While in Canada, the government is working to cap it at $10, in the US the government is telling the lower income families to go fuck themselves. Disgusting.

    The very idea of overdraft is stupid in the modern world. Just deny the transaction if I don’t have the money.

      The easy solution is to just disable overdraft protection, and that’s exactly what will happen.

          Are you in the US? They can’t. It’s legally required to be opt-in with affirmative consent.

            what they can do is burry the setting on the website and make it impossible to find. Or have it error out every time you try to change it.

    [Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the only Republican to join Democrats in opposing the resolution, disagrees. “Why would we help the big banks at the expense of working people?” Hawley asked reporters following the vote, per Semafor. “I just don’t understand it.”]

    Wow I would have never guessed that Jog Hallway of all people would be on the people’s side of this.

    What’s the actual logic for how it would benefit consumers?

      If you think of the banks as your only consumer i guess it makes sense.
