Interesting Stories?


The above video shows an interesting (to me) dichotomy between the left and the right.  They both think they are correct.  Each is trying to show their side in the best light (since I lean way right, I tend to agree that way),

McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12 years. Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Market Manager, Business Banking, Global Commercial Banking came to my office. He scheduled the meeting as an “account analysis” meeting in order to evaluate the two lines of credit we have with them. He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and have become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of accessories.
At this point I interrupted him and asked “Can I possible save you some time so that you don’t waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer what my business.”
“That is correct” he says.
I replied “That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our business. You won’t mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know that BofA is not firearms industry friendly?”
“You have to do what you must” he said.
“So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right?”
Mr Fox confirmed that it was. At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing let for him to say. (https://www.facebook.com/McMillanGroupInternational/posts/10150946905673368)

Bank of America is one of the least popular banks as shown in the above table (Midwest bank ratings from JD Powers).  So they are adding to their enemies some very powerful interest groups (NRA, etc.).

My 300th. post went unnoticed by me; not that there is anything spectacular about it, just that relatives of mine are at 500 or more.
