I hate the Halifax w💶ers.
Closed my local branch last month but instead of warning/informing me of this in advance they send a letter to my inbox the month before telling me about a branch in a completely different town closing in November.

The universe does not have enough atoms for the number of facepalms required, as though it wear sent to my online inbox they still compose/lay them out like letters, complete with my address, in the town I live at the top.

How dumb do you have to be to.think that town A is town B when they are completely different names, beginning with completely different letters & having completely different postcodes?

It's been near 3½ weeks since I complained & they acknowledged, but do I have the info I need? Info like, alternative places to do my things in person?
Nope. (FYI: No banks left in my town now!)

Fuck you very solidly, where the sun don't shine FAILIFAX!

After a weekend chill out, or an attempt at it, it's Financial Ombudsman time.

Trump is weaponizing “pricing optimization” consultants to gouge more consumers.

“Trump’s administration halted a probe of surveillance pricing — now “price optimization” consultants are helping corporations weaponize Trump’s tariffs to jack up prices on consumers.”

“Now is the time to take advantage,” said one consultant.”

I get that adding unskippable commercials to all streaming services is simply a manifestation of #corporategreed, but what kind of #marketing genius thought it would be a good idea to make my toddler watch three auto insurance ads before each episode of number blocks?

Same driver, 26 years apart in China.
Meanwhile, countries like Australia and the USA are in the same boat when it comes to trains. Rail doesn’t suit the interests of private trucking companies, airlines, and bus operators — so it’s been left to decay. When nations let big corporations call the shots on public infrastructure, everything starts to fall apart.
