As a working class American why should I care about cutting off Iran from international bank transactions? US wages have been stagnant for 40 years while executive pay has ballooned.
Yes. Dozens of small parties and political organizations have been targeted by finance in both the US and the UK.
- LatteLazy 6y agoCan you share an example of when financial services companies have deplatformed (is that the right term?) a political party in the US or UK? I agree you probably shouldn't care about Iran. I'm just saying that's why presidents and senators care. Also, you should care about all the jobs FS creates both at the top and further down. Without financial services not only would your taxes go up, you wouldn't get half as good a mortgage and there would be a lot fewer jobs across the economy... Edit: The only examples of account closures I can find are either for right wing groups (HSBC closed a load of those) or 1 democrat in Florida whose account was closed after she was told they couldn't accept cannabis cash and she said she'd pay that in anyway...
- sthnblllII 6y agoSo if you aren't a republican or a democrat you don't get to have a bank account? Thats completely fucked up man.
