You Think What?

Three months ago, under the guidance of Demetricia Patterson, Consignment Furniture Etc. opened its doors with its mission to provide one half of the profits toward funding a foundation which gives drug assistance to senior citizens.

Demetricia Patterson is the owner of the consignment store and the creator of the Demetricia C. Patterson Foundation, a non-profit drug assistance program for people age fifty plus.

Ms Patterson says she established the foundation because she has witnessed  people in her community who must choose between purchasing necessary medication or buying food. (more…)

From the back room of YouThinkWhat, the newly created banking  and financial writers’ department has come up with an idea that we believe will suit all us regular John Q. and Jane Q. Public consumers.

This idea has been a long time coming, but we believe the time is now to implement this policy for banking institutions who require our money to stay afloat.

It’s time consumers exercised the Golden Rule toward the bankers in order to trump the *Rusty Rule. That’s the rule that has been used against us as we go barreling toward the financial brick wall.

NSF charges for banks…just like us they will owe forever…banks are ruthless about NSF penalties…in your face about how you should know better…well they should know better!

In our continuing effort to take every opportunity presented to hammer away at the banking industry the staff of YouThinkWhat will now suggest they way we see this whole banking debacle….or is that boondoggle (??)

After we seeing the reports of the amazing profits made by the likes of major surviving banking institutions Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and, our very special favorite, Bank of America we wondered why the banks have not used the same enchanting number manipulation on the mortgage, credit card or checking accounts of John and Jane Q. Public. (more…)

Even before this massive economic fuster cluck became evident to the masses we were writing complaints about the system and well known banking companies like Skank of America.

The following is another in a continuing series to educate and inform visitors to this site-consumers,  about the banking/financial industry especially in America.

Today we are pleased to present Scott Bateman a political cartoonist of renown. We’re fans of Scott. We hope you will be joining us as we follow his political cartoons.

Here now Scott Bateman provides answers to a 1947 film that promotes the idea that all of us should be to going to the bank.

There are many people who believe the idea of a Wal-Mart Bank is really scary.

There are several good reasons why a Wal-Mart Bank would work. The economic times have changed requiring radical solutions. A Wal-Mart Bank is one result of “thinking outside the box”. (more…)

Here’s news you Bank Of America customers can use, if there are any of that vanishing breed left,  especially if you regularly bank online.

In keeping with its image, BAnk Of America, “the bank that cares”, presents its newest security product called SafePass® which promises to be  “Bank of America’s strongest protection in guarding against Online Banking fraud and identify theft.”  BoA’s strongest protection to guard against fraud and identity theft is like using a condom with a hole in it. Since they are selling identity theft protection it makes sense they’d offer an innovative product that would increase the reason for purchasing an ID theft protection program. (more…)

The woman who is heir to the Bank of America fortune, Virginia Hammerness, revealed how she really feels about the executives in charge of the bank started by her grandfather. (more…)

Will the utter reckless spending never end at Bank Of America? Reports of excess spending of the taxpayer bailout money at Super Bowl XLIII has been explained as being part of Bank Of America’s growth strategy.

Really? Would that be growth at the expense of the shareholders and depositors?

Bank Of America is reportedly in negotiations with the New York Yankees for sponsorship of Yankee Stadium.

According to ABC News Bank Of America spent $10 million to sponsor the 850,000 square foot event at Super Bowl XLIII known as the NFL Experience. (more…)

We are unashamed of our unabashed continuous bashing of Bank Of America. As a woman we know would say, “They are financial terrorists.”

We concur. What they do as perpetrators of financial terror is akin to strapping on a bandoleer of explosives and detonating them in your home as physical terrorists would do causing harm, serious injury, even death to you and your family.

That is why we continue to alert the banking public to the actions of the largest bank in the U.S. by assets; assets that come from your deposits and excessive fees paid by you the depositor. (more…)
