The Morning Rant

Some rando on Twitter got this letter from his bank a couple of weeks ago:

So here are my thoughts on this:

So this is an absolutely outrageous proposal for a number of reasons

--It is a gross invasion of privacy.

--It will add significantly to the bank's regulatory reporting workload, and would somebody please tell me why the government needs to know all this stuff?

--This is just another example of them running that new play in the left-wing playbook, the one where the government enacts petty tyrannies on the American people but outsources the enforcement of said tyrannies to the private sector.

--You know, getting others to do your dirty work for you is actually pretty dope.

Having said all of this, it is just a proposal. My personal opinion is that it is not so much a serious proposal as it is a Biden administration trial balloon. Right now, somebody in the White House is watching the reaction it's getting from the banks. Not sure what's going to come next, perhaps the same proposal, only with a higher number, like maybe $1200 or $2000.

Also notice how the bank really isn't committing itself to actually doing anything. It's just complaining about it, and giving their customers a website to go to so they can complain as well. I suppose that's all that can be done this stage. But is there any point where the bank would say "screw the feds, we're not complying"? And the answer is, no, probably not. Not that I blame them, really, they want to stay in business without a bunch of federal goons showing up one day and perp-walking the high-level execs to a PMITA prison.

I haven't heard one GOP(e) congressman or senator complain about this, yet, which is worrying

This is why it's laughable when they accuse Trump of being a fascist/dictator/tyrant. There are some things Trump wouldn't do. We know this because they were proposed and he didn't do them, things that he pointed out were the responsibility of the states. But I have seen no indication of anything that the Biden administration wouldn't do if they thought it would advance their agenda. I have seen no restraint at all. Nor any self-awareness from the Democrat idiots who shouted "fascist!" at Trump for nothing but who can't seem to recognize Biden's actual fascism when it's staring them right in the face.

Friday Who Dis: I'd bet there's not one of you who's been on this blog long enough to remember when the wild and chaotic personal life of actor Tom Sizemore provided ace with much merriment. See this old post, and this one, and especially this one. WARNING: Do not post comments on these old threads, pixy's automatic banhammer will squash you like a bug. I think Sizemore has cleaned up his act and is playing it straight nowadays, and good for him. But back then, he made Russell Crowe and Charlie Sheen look look like choirboys. He teamed with model/actress Katherine Heigl in the 2006 crime drama Zyzzyx Road. This film holds the record for the lowest box office gross in Hollywood history. Made for foreign release, it nevertheless had to have a domestic gross to comply with Screen Actors Guild's regulations. So they ran it for seven days in one theater, Highland Park Village Theater in Dallas, Texas, where it earned $20 in ticket sales. I think the only people who saw it were a couple of ticket-takers and an usher.
