This (the bank knows where you're employed and how much income you make) is only possible with one account per person, right? In the US people that do direct deposit are also treated differently by the banks. Both on the surface, i.e.

Are road design in Belgium worse than in the Netherlands? The death rates per mile driven is same as in the US [1]. I don't think "road design" is an issue. People in Europe drive less in general, risk groups (teenagers and e
