They're not getting much of that cash either unless they're going straight to your bank, but they're still dealing with SARs. Your bank better call you, too. If my bank is going to cash a check for $20k they better make sure I wrote it.
Got really crappy vibes as well....but I just need him to get the money to the builder. Then he can fuck off.

I actually left a bank years and years ago...it was when my wife and I were saving up aggressively again. It's been a decade so I can't remember all of the details but...

We had something close to $120k in cash at the bank...and I was working in GA, she was working in VA, but we still lived in NC (and the NC/VA border). And my job was underground so no cell service (this was also before WIFI calling on cells was common)...her job just didn't have coverage. Anyway -- when I came back above ground...my phone lit up with missed calls and voicemails from the bank. So I log into my acct and there was something like $50k missing. Listen to the voice mails and it was the bank trying to verify some transfers.

I called the bank and they were like...oh well...we saw this transaction come through...we tried to call you...but since we couldn't reach you...we authorized it for your convenience. I lost my shit! They transferred me to this dept and this dept and this dept and they were like...30+ day investigation yada yada yada. I said hell no!! and talked to the next supervisor...then the next...then the next..then the manager...then the next....

They gave me a $30k credit that day...and promised to have the rest back by the end of the week.

It was eventually resolved -- but I closed all my accounts with them over it.

Pro Russian humor

----------

I have this analogy to share with you from my Malaysian friend who is married to a russian wife👇🏽. So apt.

Last night before my wife went to sleep, I said to her: This Russia is such a bad country, If Ukraine wants to join Nato, it is their business and freedom, Russia has no right to intervene, this is just an excuse for Russia to invade Ukarine.

She said nothing, she just went to the kitchen and took a knife to our bedside, then she said: Let’s go to sleep.

I looked at her with my eyes wide open: What the heck are you doing, sleeping with a knife?!?!

She said: No worry, let’s go to sleep. Beside, sleeping with a knife is none of your business and it is my freedom.

I said to her: How can I sleep when you are sleeping with a knife? What if you accidentally cut me?

She said: Well, You don’t even trust your own wife, how can you expect Russia to trust Ukraine? Me sleeping with a knife is like Ukraine joining the Nato. 😅

Hahaha good analogy. People are talking as if they know everything. Poetin might not be your favorite leader or person, but there is much more to this than the news/propaganda machine from the west let's us believe.

I didn't even know this was a thing. It is a Gohan and Piccolo focused movie so I am down. People hating on the animation but I'm okay with it.

Piccolo gets a new form and apparently, someone (Gohan) is supposed to level up further.

Judging Pan's age this movie takes place closer to the end of Dragonball Z.

Interesting, almost like it's a theater scene from a video game. Not a fan of the animation either. I will watch but can't say I'm hyped for this one.

Well, it's clearly not as big a film or budget as Broly. DBS: Broly was a huge release.

It's already confirmed that it takes place after Broly. I'm just mad confused they would gi this route when you had one of your biggest succes with Broly.
I'll watch it because it's Dragonball otherwise I wouldn't even have taken a peek at it.

This war is going to kill my bank account. Price of unleaded literally went up 70 cents in three days where I live.
20 cents in two consecutive days, 30 today.

Biden-flation was bad enough, but this is fucking ridiculous.

It's crazy, I don't drive here in Japan so I haven't seen how it has affected people here but I'll ask my gf if it's gotten more expensive. Meanwhile, Elon tells them to drill baby, drill!

Benzine is €2,40 and diesel is €2.0 here. It's fucking crazy. I can't even remember bezine prices ever reaching €2 let alone diesel. Makes public transport all the more attracting. Then you see the train prices in the Netherlands and are like fuck that I'm going with my car.

They were predicting today that crude oil will go to $200/barrel. So you will see $9+/gallon very soon. :(

We are at $1.85/Litre in Canada and it will go to $2.00/L very soon. smfh these sanctions ain't gonna do shit to Russia, it's gonna hurt guys like you and me long before it hurts them, so long as China and Russia are besties, it doesn't matter. China will remain neutral, rightfully so.

Actually they also said today that China-Russia trade between Jan-Feb increased by 40+% YoY in the billions.

Did you guys see the Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau and Mark Rutte speak together regarding Russian Ukraine? Trudeau is a freaking joke, is this guy real. I think even Boriz was like uugh wtf for a split second.

last time I remember it -- it was almost 10-15 years ago. Bush was president but I think Obama was coming in or it was shortly after Obama took over...the gulf coast rigs got hammered by Hurricane ____. I just remember big pick up truck sales plummeted that year (living in the South, I remember them good ol boys complaining about it every day -- and I remember [personally] defending Obama tooth and nail because he couldn't control the weather and it was a problem that he inherited. This was when I was an avid acolyte and just KNEW he was gonna change the world for black America). I was too poor to have money in the stock market at the time though...so missed that. I also missed the great recession because I was pretty paycheck to paycheck at the time

Edi:
So Russia is threatening to shut off their supply of oil and nat. gas
...And apparently the US is meeting with officials in Venezuela about removing some of the oil sanctions on them? I thought this was allllll about supporting democracy

Man o man...if only we had a way to get oil from a "friendly" country...into our country...without empowering these tyrants

I mean -- I'd take 2 of the 3

Wow. Not sure if it's the propaganda arm of our own media

But have you all seen the stories that the Russian military is crippled because of decades of corruption? Basically.. Russian officials have been laundering money for the military to buy expensive toys (cars/houses/yachts, etc) instead of modernizing their military? Makes me chuckle [from the other side of the planet... Where my house isn't being bombed at night]

Thoughts and prayers
