“Overdraft protection” consists of loaning you the money, no matter how much you have right there in your savings acct

That is not universal, many financial institutions let you set it up so that your savings automatically covers overdrafts.

I've had that be the case in my Ally accounts since like 2010 at least, for no fee. Hell, Ally doesn't even charge overdraft fees at all anymore, apparently.

Srsly? When I had the Only Account it was in Oregon, then I moved to Seattle and couldn't find a bank with that feature. Even US Bank, where I had the account in Portland, didn't have it in Seattle. The clerk gave me a kindergarten explanation of how it's not one company, it's more like a family with lots of cousins all over. I LOL'd mentally because I knew it for a fact was and is one company (I had even traded their stock in the past, symbol USB). But anyway apparently their accounts and features varied by state and Washington state didn't offer thar type of account. I will have to look around again now, thanks!

Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.
