Access to your bank account is not a right.


I'm pretty sure that one is covered under "property".

So, you are fine unless you are accused or suspected of crimes. No due process is necessary.

That’s when I truly appreciated the federal setup of the US, that the central govt couldn’t lock us all up everywhere. Even CA couldn’t go too crazy lol


Yes! I followed Australia's lockdown closely. The government completely abused their power. And people just rolled over and took it. Horrifying.


If the US had Australia's Covid death rate (400 deaths/1M pop), we'd only have 132,000 deaths instead of over 1 million. How much are 800,000 lives worth to you?


800,000 American lives means less to these MAGA idiots than going to Hooters for hot wings and happy hour.

WTAF?? It's the depositors' money. These are not criminals, they are depositors


The government can freeze your bank accounts. It happened in Canada when Trudeau took exception to the public gatherings. Don't think the US is immune.


People will flee banking systems where their money is seized arbitrarily


It doesn't matter if it's only the cultural enemies that are getting their money seized.


I don't follow. Who are "cultural enemies?"

When they impose their draconian rules on you like this, your options are:

Isn’t communism great?


But, hey, that's equitable, right?
