Forum Overview :: Dead Trees :: Re: I'd like to see this same conversation play out between IA and their bank.

[quote name="Mr. 3000"][quote name="blackwater"]The bank should just donate their money to fighting COVID-19, right? That has to be more important than maintaining a copy of what Slashdot looked like in 2007 or whatever. What's that? Property rights? I can't hear you, lalalalala. Bonus points if the bank representative explains that normally they deal with "ephemera" but they've been reassigned temporarily (psh) to be the "point of contact" with poor suckers like IA. It's hard to make a case that the US doesn't have enough entertainment media available cheaply to people in 2020. This is not exactly IA handing out medical masks and vaccines to the people.[/quote] In this case your bank uses deposited money to give out loans. During the pandemic they say they are going to give out more loans. "Loan MY money?????" screeches Tweeters unaware this has gone on forever. [/quote]
